Jacob pretty much hit nail on the head as far as I can see - easy to be rash in the heat of the moment and no harm done.
Will be interesting to see who triumphs overall, we can pretty much write Naka and Topalov off (no complaints there in my view although a Carlsen-Naka match would have been hugely entertaining - massive American hype followed by most one-sided match in history). Personally I still haven't given up hope of a Giri-Carlsen match as I think that would be most fun to watch, although Kramnik-Carlsen would have been best if it were allowed!
