Re: [WHY ARE WE HERE]
It would occur because King's paranoia is almost as rampant as his ego. I don't like resting plans on any assumption that the latter will overrule the former.
All I'm saying is, don't assume our enemy will behave in the way that benefits us. It's far better to assume that he won't, and plan to handle it, than assume he'll react as we want him to and be fucked when he doesn't.
