Tested hypothesis (intent)I1

Foreseen and welcomed, not the reason

Part of a thought experiment. One of the readings tested in a deliberately contrarian question: suppose Washington foresaw and wanted this; what would we expect to see, and do we see it? Not the author’s belief. How the test works.

Canada's response was foreseen and welcomed, but it isn't why the pressure was applied.

Tests that bear on it
