Well it certainly does reveal how petty the creditors are.  Syriza agreed
to cut its own throat. The creditors turned down that agreement on grounds
that the razor had the wrong logo. Perhaps if the Greek  negotiating team
had traveled in rowboats, slept in tents and scavenged meals out of garbage
cans that touching show of humility would have  resulted in the creditors
taking "yes" for an answer.
