Unfortunately this sort of thing makes sense in the end: one in the hand is worth two in the bush. Yeah he likes the guy and probably gives him more than he is

Unfortunately this sort of thing makes sense in the end: one in the hand is worth two in the bush. Yeah he likes the guy and probably gives him more than he is due, but they know who he is, what he acts like, where he's going. They know how to work with him. In all these kinds of matters, no matter how shiny someone presents themselves to be, its only over the course of many months and years of knowing them that you can get an accurate picture.
