The point I'm making is that last minute stuff may yet happen as various external factors coagulate into the current negotiating mess.

Do you think that the squeeze on Germany might not bear some fruit?
I’ve never known any major programme of work that had, as part of the plan for implementation, the section that said “last minute stuff may yet happen (that will make it work)"...

Can you imagine if the D-Day planning had a section that said "here’s hoping"? They looked at what was required, planned to meet those requirements, and put contingency plans in place for identified risks (with additional contingency for "stuff we don’t know about yet"). I haven’t seen any evidence of that sort of approach to this...
