That is as much as I can do, he is now avoiding the website as he thinks that I now despise him. I do not, but what’s the point? He was misled, as were several other governments who thought they knew better than the actual experts in the far east.
Yes, experts are frequently wrong, especially when they have had very easy lives.
Just in case you were wondering, that was a very real and literal lesson in not accepting authority when authority is wrong and caring about people you never expected to care about.
If anyone had told me that I would nag this person into saving his own ass at any point in my life, I would have laughed.
Anyway, I do not see that any further intervention is likely to meet with success unless he sees the light and makes a direct and official request, so I am off to take care of business. He knows where to find me.
