And it issued.

"Obvious" is a bad word. Well, there were billable hours burned in preparing it. They have hired an awful lot of new examiners, and my last few applications took quite a bit of back-and-forth before issuing -but it looks like this guy won the lottery, and managed to get an examiner who never used a swing as a child.

Glad I retired.
