Aiming,
"Do you prefer to settle for the bird in hand rather than go after the 10 in the bushes?"
YES...Especially when I know that nine of those 'birds in the bush' are dead (FDA/artifact/CX516/DARPA/6 ft box/..etc...), and the other one is just 'hanging on'.
After ten years of another analogy (carrot at the end of an ever- lenthening stick)...it's time to be bought out by the highest bidder, whoever that is and whatever $'s that brings, and learn from a ten year 'bad dream'!
