My take: for me Charlie seems to lack post-Kane imagination here. I feel more relieved than disappointed. Kane has gone in such a progressive way that it feels like more of an opportunity than a hole. A systemic replacement for his goals is where we turn attention to now.
Yeah it is a balance, it is important because it's not just about this window but where you will find yourself in the next couple of windows. There has to be a strategy behind it.
