I agree that a massive devaluation followed by a stable-ish currency is preferable to the current circus.

I also agree that your skepticism is justified. However, you're mistaken that Varoufakis wrote that because he doesn't want an exit. In fact he's been arguing that Greece should have started preparations for a new currency years ago. Varoufakis even got fired because Tsipras wasn't willing to gamble with a possible grexit. Of course it's possible that Syriza did make preparations for the new Drachma and all claims to the contrary are just misdirection. I don't believe that, though.
