201. Asking you to support your own statement is a non sequitur?
The fact is that Japan was sending out all sorts of peace feelers.
None by anyone that actually controlled the goverment or the military. And "peace feelers" seeking a negotiated armistice are a far cry from surrender, as I'm sure you're aware. Unless you think that allowing Japan to keep its government and military intact and allowing them to retain conquered territories was an acceptable form of armistice, there isn't any indication from the historical record that the high command would have accepted a "surrender" on anything approaching acceptable terms.
