I would not bet money on what Varoufakis knew or did not know up until last Saturday. That guy is not someone I would want to play poker with.

It's pretty clear that Syriza initially underestimated both the viciousness and incompetence of their enemies. But the way in which they have played since they took the kid gloves off this Saturday shows that they must have gotten over that naivety several months ago.

One of the advantages of being sane is that you get to adjust your position in response to new information.
