At that time it was just "an absurdity".

------------------------------

That was said largely tongue in cheek and you failed to get it.


The reality was that you made a fraudulent application claiming
residency in a country where you have an office, but do not reside.
Your fraud was noticed by the nominating committee and your candidacy
was rejected.


Then you accused them of guessing instead of asking you, so multiple
people asked you. You basically refused to state your residency, but
when finally pushed, you admitted that you did not live in the service
region.

After that, the phrase "but he guessed right" was used as a
semi-humorous retort to your continued and repeated accusation that he
guessed. In reality, your fraud attempt was noted and you were removed
from the slate for entirely legitimate reasons. The process worked and
the correct outcome was achieved.

It's past time to move on from this absurdity.
