 I've already talked about this before.  Information, engagement, knowledge.  You will ALWAYS give yourself a better chance of acting intelligently if you have more lines of communication.  You don't have to make a deal to gain something out of talks.
What doyu do with that information of course ultimately determines its value, and no amount of talking or information will mean jack-sh*t if you don't act intelligently on it.  But to make the blanket statement that you're just going to close your eyes and plug your ears is, to my mind, a guarantee that you'll be working from an incomplete picture to make decisions.
