I agree with your answer. it is sad others see it differently.
I  think it is up to your situation. If you can afford to wait and take the  gamble that the job might not come through then wait but if you need  the job and a steady paycheck immediately, then a gamble is not wise.   Also, nothing will stop you from doing excellence work there and  continuing to apply in other companies as opportunities become  available.
Will you be seeing all the blockbuster movies this summer or are you busy with other things?
