Either one might work in that context, depending on your level of optimism.
Both, really. I sort of deliberately mixed my metaphors, because while the attempt, internally to the BPH's might be viewed as biting the bullet, I think that the RESULT would be equivalent to shooting themselves in the head.

I have more thoughts on the books output by Indies, and the reading appetite of the public, but those have to wait until my braincells are not quite where they are right this second, in some sort of pain purgatory on the road to hell.
