I think that is correct. If the general theme of what posters have been saying is correct, the controller’s plan(SW quickly taking off) put the FedEx flight at risk of a localizer anomaly at low in weather where that is not supposed to happen. The subsequent SW unannounced takeoff delay put the both aircraft in a position of serious collision risk.
