The FRB Chairperson will calculate the backfire and its offset parameters will work how... Then, she will decide for sure. If the result of backfire is greater than postponing, but yet she has no choice if she misses this time but yet extremely difficult decision for her due to the side effect. She has all the data so God helps her and her team.
