Of course, yes. What is the use of writing, pondering, and going through the effort of preparing a long speech that will most likely affect people's morality, only to toss it away? It's your decision whether to address a hard-working speech, but if you don't, it's absurd that you'd just throw it away. So, absolutely positive, I agree that if you're going to toss away an entire speech, it's pointless.
