Position of the Day 01-28-26 - Pointless Double? Pointless Take?

The Take looks right to me, given Blue's just OK distribution.

If Blue makes either the 5-pt or 4-pt I see market losers. Is it clear that White even splits after those (or other Blue) moves? The race looks hopeless so even making a high anchor doesn't help White's winning chances. Splitting will give White more immediate hitting chances but also give Blue PoH (and thus better gammon) chances.
