If that had happened, it would have been a CoI. As Leslie and I
already made clear, it didn't.
I am sorry, Brian, but we have fundamentally different understandings of
the concept of "to consult"(*):

These indicate that you were consulted and you responded.
I think that you are confusing the meaning of "to consult" with "to
decide".
The idea that your providing input to the process of resolving the error
had no potential conflict does not match my understanding of concerns
about CoI.
