Most respectfully, you're confusing speculation with reasoning. If that's where I lose you, then consider this. It's become very apparent now. WHAT HAPPENS IF ROSEN'S DS IS NOT APPROVED ON 10/7??? The answer is (and there's only one answer): he won't be given another chance this year! He'll be stuck! Solomon will be free! The examiner will be free! This is not speculation. Read Walrath's ruling again. IT'S SUPER TIGHT. She wasn't speaking extemporaneously. It was all thought out and pre-planned. SUPER TIGHT.
Don't crash my thinking by simply saying it's speculation. Re-buff any point I've made. If you can.
