We do actually have some impact on the WAS's decision. They do not live in a vacuum. I think of their ultimate decision as a small boulder. If it's sitting on a slope, it's going to roll downhill no matter what you do. But maybe it's teetering on an edge, in which case you could influence which way it goes. We don't know where the boulder is, but we can behave like we can help it. The question then is how do we do good and especially not harm to the sitch. DB holds many of the answers there. Begging, pleading and more of the same will only kick the boulder down the hill. But make positive changes, paint yourself in the best light you can, be patient, and be prepared to act if WAS does give you a chance.
And if the boulder falls down the hill anyway, you've done the best thing for yourself, anyway.
good analogy card.
