Well, speaking personally - totally intimidated !!!!

But for me it's more about how I would feel staying at Intermediate - and the answer is - completely hypocritical, no matter how ill-equipped I might feel about the prospect of doing well at the next level up.

On the other hand 'win' and move up makes more sense as they are the best at that level so should move up.
Yep, a very valid view, and worthy of a lot more debate than it's had. But there won't be a resolution of this finer point until the coarser issues have been dealt with properly, I reckon.
