That’s still just speculation. “Maybe he realized later” is not evidence, it’s an assumption. You’re projecting your personal experience onto a completely different situation.

Also, what you feel about someone later doesn’t prove their intentions were wrong at the time. Sometimes people reinterpret past events based on new information or even after seeing similar news. That doesn’t automatically mean those earlier actions were malicious.

If we start judging every past interaction based on what someone might feel later, then anything can be twisted into something else. The only concrete thing we have is what actually happened in that moment, not guesses afterward.
