> It's not "your baby for theirs", it's more complicated

How so? Use the baby analogy (as it was indeed Baker's child), what was it in this case in your view?

Well, because you agreed to the sale, so "your baby" is already gone, stock swap or not.

And you're potentially getting a stock with more potential than the ones you have (which are most likely going away).

And most stock are not materialized as a physical certificate, so it's mostly "on paper" (and on controlling power of course)
