They're insanely demoralized, a bunch of them. They're like, 'what's the path forward, it's over'. Can't even fathom the possibility that the rules can be broken if all the rules are tossed out the window, or any other possible outcomes.
It doesn't mean it will happen, although I am certain it will. But to rule it off the table to do something outside the rules when the enemy has broken literally every rule is completely absurd. In fact, following the rules to almost the very end gives justification to break the rules in a big way when it all comes down.
