In addition, this caused quite the division between those with lost vision and those of the opinion that the moon had merely made a poor decision and that his position was not up for redefinition. So the moon started wishin' (and secretly bishin) that the people's decision would include a remission of their petition that he give up his solar position. Their decision was based on his clear contrition, and agreement that for every emission there would be an omission.

Just a theory.
