I see that more as Jake’s legal mind properly considering all possibilities. That said it is a highly improbable outcome. BP is also motivated by fear and greed. If you underbid you risk losing the golden goose which is now in the hands of your competitor who proceeds to take out your markets…they have cause to fear that loss. Their wiser strategy when competition is in the mix is to offer what is fair so the company says yes. Greed is the victor, a kindler gentler emotion compared to fear. BP wins, we win.
