Nooooo, eaglefly does not believe it was a "ploy" per se. It was primarily a strategic move to elevate the chances of another arbitrator to the list while concurrently capitalizing on the value of perceived neutrality in including an arbitrator they knew had less than zero chance of selection and whose inclusion deflated any future argument of APA antangonism toward the West. USAPA certainly wouldn't include him and he'd be the first one they'd strike and if APA excluded him, it would just give more credence to any argument in the future of failure of DFR to the West.

Their primary focus was acting in their best interest as to opposing yours. The two concepts can be separate, yet still related. No tinfoil hat here.
