Maybe he should have been more careful so as not to raise eyebrows by saying a "slow trot" or a "fast walk" or "short sprint" or maybe even "a frenzied foxtrot".......His intent to convey what he experienced at a very chaotic time is very clear to me.
And your attempt to try to parse words and make him out to be a liar is very clear also.......
As for the indepth details to all your questions, maybe they'll be answered in an upcoming book.........
You're wrong. And you're rude.
