You seem to be rolling back your predictions for streaming fundamentalism on a regular basis now, and I do genuinely welcome that, I guess I’m just perplexed why you feel so strongly about the subject in the first place.

Not at all, that's what you have convinced yourself is the case.
Not only have I clarified from quite a long way back that I have no 'inside knowledge', I have been consistent in my views about which way I believe this is going. I have never waivered over 2035 - I still believe that by then the streamers will have taken over and most, if not all of the existing traditional TV channels will have disappeared. I still think that the streamers will take an interest in the next round of Premiership bidding. There is no inconsistency or backtracking. You just enjoy picking over the bones to try to derail the argument rather than having a sensible debate about it.
Yes, maybe I have miscalculated. Yes, I could be wrong. But so could you. I am at least prepared to acknowledge that. However, I am not yet shaken from my view that it will happen as I have outlined.
No need to get in a state about it. After all, it's just TV!
