My own personal guess is that he gave it very little thought, because he
felt, correctly, that it required very little thought. Your question
suggests otherwise, for reasons I've been unable to guess, and that is
why I have asked you to explain them. If you cannot explain them any
better than that, I'll have to assume that you had no particular good
reason for asking.
