It is not even a matter of belief - it is a matter of doing right, or at least doing the less bad. Believe me, I had those same thoughts back when I was on the board. In the end it was an ethical dilemma for me - save the company or save shareholders' equity, albeit in a diminished property. Knowing that it would be a victory for me, and the company itself, I felt that I had no choice but to kill the deal and accept failure. But, as Park points out, when I killed the deal I was not killing the company, I was abandoning a resuscitation effort over a nonresponsive patient. The patient is still in a coma, just now showing some feeble signs of life. I'll say, just give her some air, and watch and wait to see if she can come back to a more robust existence. FWIW, I'm liking the signs, and I think I can see them better than most.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring on prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
