I’m not expecting anything except consistency on your part. You, personally, here, now, said: can’t blame him for the outcome.
Why.
How.
It was entirely under his control.

Instead of answering, you’ve chosen to make up a conversation you’d rather be having, with some imaginary idiot who says a bunch of things I sure didn’t.
