To be fair, his comments weren't made in the context of either of the Max accidents, but in an anti-competitive hearing where he was simply comparing the hot-and-high performance of the Max 8 compared to the Max 7, in other words stating the obvious. So let's not put words in his mouth.
Incidentally his CV includes being a VP at FlightSafety International, and 8 years at McD before that, so I suspect he does actually know one end of a WAT curve from the other.
