Let cooler heads prevail, this too shall pass....

My question is does somber reflection result in any benifit other than enabling the spin doctors to come up with a concensus as to the lies that will be told?

It does help. Giving people time to be sad, angry, and then accepting means they won't carry all those unprocessed emotions forward with them.
