The Signal example is not like the others as CEOs/Presidents/Chairmen/bosses generally are notorious for throwing false trails and changing intentions.
He's specifically talking about the Skripals getting poisoned in Salisbury (2018) by Putin's agents by some Novichok on their door handle.

I do have a few of these internet expert vs actual expert "let me interrupt your expertise with my confidence" exchanges that I kept, mostly as a reminder to myself not to assume I know better.

One of my very favourites was when some climate-denier numpty told Prof @astrokatie.com to "maybe learn some actual science" and she replied "I dunno, man, I already went and got a PhD in astrophysics. Seems like more than that would be overkill at this point."
There are many @dankaszeta.bsky.social "let me interrupt your expertise with my confidence" ones like the Novichok example I already shared, but this one is a banger
I kinda read that as "there's no vaccine for boomer" first glance, and well now I kinda think we need to find that vaccine for the sake of our short term future (they've already fucked our longer term)
2016 "let me interrupt your expertise with my confidence" starring Katie Mack @astrokatie.com and Gary the climate change denier. This one is a double tap.

That's not what his first sentence says at all and he doesn't qualify it within the context of that incident.
