I have to admit I don't subscribe to RBJ and so was unable to read the article. Your point is well taken that this is more current information although we can't be sure when the interview was conducted (or maybe you can from the context of the article).
I just can't help but be dubious and skeptical given all the doom and gloom of recent days and weeks. If we get a report of an actual event tonight I'll be as elated as everyone else here. My expectation is we'll walk away with promise of good things pending, which is not unlike prior promises.
