So I guess my amended question is "why do people still destock as a TMBR solely off the private market?"
-----------
Because it doesn't make a difference.
Suppose you have 20 days as TMBR, and you destock completely in 15 days completely off private. That leaves you with 5 to resell. But you can CHOOSE which of those 5 days to resell, for example, you could choose to destock off private between days 1-10, then resell days 11-15, then destock off private again from days 16-20.
Either way, you end up buying all the military in your private across all 20 days, so you want your reselling as a TMBR to be on the 5 most effective reselling days - when the military price is the highest, usually in the last 5 days.
If you choose to destock a portion off public, say you destock 13 days off private and 2 days worth on public, then you gained 2 extra days to resell, but that 2 extra days of resell is simply profiting off the 2 days of stuff you bought off the public in the first place when the price is low, because you still bought all 20 days of private.
In other words, its still 5 days of reselling if you jumped a portion off public, except that the 5 days where you purchased stuff to sell is the not same 5 days as when you actually resold them. Which is back to the "you can CHOOSE which 5 days to resell" thing.
That is, "destocking off private" and "reselling off private" is the same thing - You buy everything on your private, its just arguing semantics about whether it is considered jumping all of it off private or not.
