Or is it more likely everybody agrees to no freeze because they can use one set of numbers to make it look like they'd be getting slight reduction in pay. But then they can use the other numbers that everyone knew were just as applicable as the first set to get themselves a decent raise. Happy accident. We actually get a raise!
Either way, Nenshi et al look dumb. They weren't seeing anything through the trees in this matter.
