No. Because nobody had that information at the time. The only person who had that information without the benefit of hindsight is God himself, and you are not God.

Also you should try sometime having some ideas of your own rather than just condescendingly talking down to people. I never see you much making any pontificating on what the Flames should or shouldn’t do. To then go belittle those that do doesn’t make you look as smart as you think it does.
I don't have ideas of my own on this particular subject because unlike you, I am smart enough to recognize that I don't have enough information to have an informed opinion. I consider the value of playing armchair GM to be precisely the square root of bugger-all. To use your own imaginary record as an armchair GM as grounds to criticize the guy actually doing the job is worth even less than that.
