I noticed the juxaposition of these two statements when put together.

Mutual Mexican stand-offs[1] are unlikely to be conducive to dialogue,
because there is no safe exit for anyone, let alone all.  Perhaps it
would make sense for *all* involved to entertain the possibility of
toning-down previously-made absolute positions in order to facilite
discussion.

If the ratcheting back of *all* party's pre-conditions were to occur
at the same time (in advance of the detailed/additional factual
information being prepared here) this might allow conversation to flow
more freely after sharing.
