Steve,

You're quoting from a discussion of a strawman hypothetical case as if
were an assertion about the real world. I meant that if such a situation
were to arise, it would mean that there had been a failure of coordination.

We'd be better off having this conversation in French with correct
use of the conditional subjunctive ;-).

Regards

The last important incident of uncoordinated activity that I’m aware was in another dimension entirely, viz the scheduling of meetings, and that was dealt with quite firmly.
