If the person was clearly in distress and calling for help, I might agree if the risk to the competent swimmer was reasonable. However, if the person in the water was asked "are you ok, do you need assistance" and the answer is a clear "No, all is good, I'm fine", then how can you possibly say that the fact that no-one jumped into the water be "causal"?
The crew were advised they were at the wrong intersection. They were advised of the runway distance still available to them to takeoff. They were offered a backtrack to D6 to give them more space. The crew rejected that assistance. ATC can in no way be considered "causal" here....
