Am I criticizing the pilot? Or ATC for that matter? No. As you quoted me I said "here we are Thursday night", so we can look at scenarios like that and have a think about what we might do.
He did what he did and he got away with it, the wing didn't drop off over a built up area. Do we really have to wait a whole 2 years for the ATSB to perhaps have some thoughts about what we might do differently if we were involved in a midair?
