Yup. It is meaningless without more info, which most level-headed individuals understand. Junior to UA yes, but could have been left seat in the bus for the the last 10 years. The last excursion was, what, from a guy with years in the seat at UA? All meaningless narratives. Anyone can make a bonehead move in a quick lapse of judgement/focus.
