And in this scenario, the Empire still wins because they get a chance to recover and the Thalmor have to waste resources to stop the uprising. That's exactly my point.

OR they lose even more resources, manpower by losing Skyrim and then have the Thalmor right up on Cyrodiil

It doesn't make sense tactically to allow the Thalmor to gain a legit hold over Skyrim

You are entirely assuming that Skyrim will just roll over and let the Dominion control them. Realistically, they are going to have to deal with civil war after civil war.

Your argument is also sort of contradictory. You state that Skyrim is too insignificant to pose a threat to the Thalmor, but you also state that the Empire losing them would cost them a not negligible amount of resources. If it's the former, then they aren't losing anything by letting the Dominion waste resources putting down a continuous stream of rebellions. If it's the latter, then Skyrim would prove more of a problem for the Dominion (since a significant amount of resources means a significant amount of resistance).
