He has already said no RS a couple times now. Why would he say it again just to hand hold for the short term. He can't predict the future so he can't say no to that for certain. He puts himself in a box when when he says "no RS" and then something happens where he has to. Then what? People will be screaming" you promised no RS! Your s liar!" Then he says " yeah but I will lose my co." If I don't" then people say " yeah but you said..."

So no matter what he can't win
