I think we're ALL going nuts rights now, partially based on how inconsistent (and just wrong) NP has been in the past. We are ALL trying to make ourselves and each other feel better by positing theories, hopes, what-iffs, etc., but in the end, we'll know when they tell us and that's it.
I don't think we can read into anything one way or another, except for the fact that the trial was neither halted nor modified and EIND's were allowed once it ended. It feels good so far, but who the heck knows. Hopefully us, SOON!
