I think you misread the example. Person A says they will be 30 mins late. Person B responds they are running late too, probably by an hour, so person A doesn't need to worry about being a mere 30 minutes late.


Ah, you're right! I did read it as "means", not "meets" :)

Leaving it for a permanent record of my crankiness. Sigh, I may be getting old...


I doubt that changes much about what they said.
