Yes, that's correct. Think of the question in marriage ceremonies: "if anybody knows of a reason why these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace.". Despite what one reads[1] in trashy romance novels, that question is mostly ceremonial -- nobody actually expects an objection. That's supposed to happen when you're still dating. So think of Patch-review as dating, and Patch-countdown as a marriage ceremony. :) (but don't delay the countdown just because they've only been dating for a few hours; if there's space left on the countdown, might as well go for it. I guess the analogy kind-of breaks down here) [1] *cough* I mean, theoretically. Based on what I've heard. I'm not an expert on the subject.
