Shrinking Violet seemed to wonder if this would be precluded by her history. (I presume Shrinking Violet is a woman, but this may be stereotyping). It shouldn't be ruled out, IMHO, simply for that reason, if it's something she really would want to do,. .
I respect your points. But SV may have countervailing strengths, or may grow in ways that we can't know, which argue in the other direction.
