I don't think it's "to be fair." It's more like you playing devil's advocate, but having said that...how would you suggest he say things? The controller has a job to do. His job is not to provide Air China separation. It's to provide EVERYONE separation, and when you have to repeat things five times.....we have a big problem. JFK gets busy, man.
