At the risk of being redundant, I think you are arguing what is theoretically possible and they are telling you what will actually happen with 99% certainty based on Idaho's political history + the massive cost to manage as much federal land as Idaho has + similar situations in other Western...
Understandable for sure, I have heard that it can get pretty convoluted. It really is a bit daunting, as someone who hasn't been reading as often I would like. I feel like it would take me months to get through it at the pace I have been reading at lately.

I still haven't read infinite jest, but I plan to sometime in the future. I really enjoy his essays and interviews though. I read "Consider the Lobster" off the recommendation of my freshman English professor when I was writing an essay about c&r fishing mortality, and...
