True, but I was moreso pointing out that the only people who really believed this were the holdout radicals, and two of their votes were preventing the military from issuing a capitulation order. Even Hirohito was exhausted by that point. Everyone wanted to surrender, but the tiny amount of holdout votes prevented the war from ending a few weeks earlier.
