Those are fine topics to discuss but I didn't give an opinion on any of them. Nor did you in the post I'm still inquiring about. This is what gives you cog-dis:

You say: “Because they need their propaganda pony show to entertain the masses“

I say: Because they didn't know how it would go and wanted to be prepared.

Which is more likely? Which is stupid?

It can be BOTH stupid AND likely.
Sorry this concept is beyond you.
