That would imply that the crew didn't take seriously the United pilot's "They're on the taxiway!" transmission (but went around anyway).
It will be instructive to find out when the crew became aware that they had actually made an approach to the taxiway. I suspect their first response was "no - we made both approaches to 28R!"
It will indeed, though I suspect that their first response was rather more immediate and rather more Anglo-Saxon.
Unless they were Québécois.
