Yes, but they wouldn't realize that before 5.4. So no, I'm not making your point.
Warchief is a military position. The military is Orc at its core. The military will be besieging Orgrimmar in 5.4. If it's going to be Orcs vs Orgrimmar, the Warchief either should be an Orc, or must have the support of all prominent Orcs, especially the ones in the military leadership.
