Most of Plan A's stated consequences are predictions about what would happen if the plan were implemented, rather than recommendations.

“reasons but i i understand that's not very easy or like not very like apparent to people but broadly speaking plan a is the prediction part so like when when the government like implements plan a and they make the deal with china and there's all these pillars that they're upholding and so forth that that's our recommendation not a prediction uh and then usually most of the things that follow from that are predictions rather than recommendations so mostly it's just rolling out like what we think the consequences would”

“would be if you implemented plan A.”
