The end of the M seems to be something of a teeter totter.
The lower the WAS is, the higher we rise. The higher we rise, the lower the WAS goes.
We observe this often, but don't celebrate the WAS' plight for long. That is because we are elevated above that. We are not elevated because the WAS is down, but because we have become better people. The WAS is down ... because we have elevated ourselves so well and created so much distance between the two worlds.
I think in many cases as has been often cited, the LBS rejects the world of the WAS in the end. We came, we saw, we changed. When faced with the worst cases, why would be want to enter that realm again?
Enjoy your view from the top. You worked for it. You earned it.
