I never said it wasn't possible, all I said was it makes it less likely IMO.

If Merck US was made partner on Pona, then I would say that substantially increases Merck's chances of owning Ariad, fully, at some point in the future. Personally, I don't think the relationship is all that great between Berger and Merck management, in my opinion.
