Yes, that was the reason.

Wrong, and to be honest, I don't understand what you are trying to say here. If you look at my earlier use of the same analogy you will see my intent was to demonstrate that a failure of experienced passengers to observe does not mean that the reports are necessarily incorrect. I clearly stated that I was trying to make the argument less emotive, but you have drawn it back to QF. What's the link - are you saying that QF FAs are gay? If that is true, so what?

Obviously I was too oblique here. In the previous sentence you had asserted that you were as observant as anyone. I observed the spelling error and you hadn't. A cheap shot.
