It's ok to admit that our heroes aren't always saints. I’m convinced that you could start an argument in an empty room… :? ? Once one person enters a room it ceases to be empty, so, for a room to be empty it is not a matter of having no-one else in the room to argue with - an empty room has nobody ...

I don't think he's wrong, reading it makes me think he went for the job and didn't get it.
