I certainly understand the reticence, and my default stance is the same.
But Boyd and Lombardi
never generated the interest for me that these guys do.
Also, the other huge difference is that there are several
at the same time.
Extremely unlikely that they all make it, but there's plenty of reason to be excited about them as a group.
