To follow on from those questions, there are essentially two schools of thought, namely, if one has an asset up to 25 years that one neglects, one sweats the asset, gets the value out of it and leaves bad cable, or one invests in it and sells something worth value. What the witnesses are saying, or perhaps I am misinterpreting them, is that of those two schools of thought, the first one of sweating the living life out of the asset, getting as much money back from it and then having a defunct cable is the more likely outcome. Is that what they are saying is the more likely outcome?
