He quit BP less than a year later, and he was dead serious when he shared his reasons with me: it was due to how the company reacted, internally, to that cock up.

He had intended before that to work for them until retirement. He chose to look elsewhere based on how their corporate culture manifested itself.
Your apologia does not sit well.
Granted, the overreaction by the sitting Administration was a mess, but that's a topic for elsewhere.
