There’s a lot of assumptions being made without naming them.
1) we don’t know Buxton’s health
2) we don’t know what the agreement is (agreed with the Phantom, there is likely an agreement of some kind)
3) we don’t know the alternatives to intermittent rest.
if we don’t know if there’s an issue, or if this is preventative, we don’t know if Buxton agreed, or if there are alternatives, all we’re left with is guessing.
not sure why we got our collective selves all twisted up on this
