Yes, with well explained analogies that fail to support their conclusion ;-)

So, I'm not sure what it is, but it not the simple two player game of chicken.


No, it's not. And if it were a game of chicken, no rational business would take that risk anyway.  Seriously -- run your network non-optimally, or spend a few hours and $100 to run it optimally.  Not much value in that chicken.  Has wings but can't fly any better than vixie's pigs :)
