Obsessing whether or not it works really is besides the point, at least IMO.  And since I never really obsessed over the four word thing, it really doesn't bother me that it may or may not be Teh Bestest Thing EVAR - I never built it up that high in my mind. As for the general situation, many many people (including yours trully) saw that this was the time where V sold himself down the river.  The fact that he just damned himself due to pride is far more important than whether or not the four words really works.Something someone once said about Forest and Trees, I believe.The important thing is that V is screwed at the moment, and it's his own doing.  He could have done dozens of things differently before he got to this stage.  So instead of talking about the four words, maybe we should be pitying (or castigating if one prefers) V for being in this position in the first place.Just my two cents, of course. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
