Default 40% chance the match will continue?

Chessbase.com has a good summary of the current Kramnik-Topalov
situation at http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=3385. Most
interesting to me is the fact that Kramnik's protest against the action
of appeals board regarding the restrooms, has been completely upheld,
and the appeals board has resigned en masse, a tacit admission that
their decision was out of order.
However, the sticking point now appears to be whether the 5th-game
forfeit stands or falls. Kramnik says he'll walk if it stands, Topalov
says he'll walk if it falls. Chessbase gives only a 40% chance that the
impasse will be resolved.
