It wasn't trivial, just too obscure.

It appeared you were assuming something* that wasn't stated explicitly in the report. Other assumptions not supported by the report are largely responsible for the widely differing opinions concerning the appropriateness/adequacy of the actions taken by FIRST.


*At the time of posting, I hadn't noticed that in a previous post you had used "s/he" and so you were obviously aware that the report did not specify gender. So I stand corrected.
