I never even implied that you did. Let me remind you what you said:

The "horrors" of it all! Tea and bikkies, explanations required! The reality is nothing like what you hypothesise.

It's a shame you don't fly RPT two-crew, Dozy. You'd realise it normally doesn't work like that in the scenario the discussion is alluding to.
and you must know that when going by the book, "follow-through" has no place in line ops, even line training.
And where did you drag that gem up from??
