I read Ian's remarks differently. Asking who should be referred to CT or DAM, even under the guise of a hypothetical question, is in my reading clearly suggesting disciplinary action. I also find his choice of wording quite telling: the hypothetical framing and repeated rhetorical questions give his accusations a veneer of procedural neutrality, while the implications are anything but neutral. Combined with his categorical assertion that this is a conduct violation and his demand that Sruthi strongly criticise the team, I find it difficult to read this as merely a good-faith appeal for accountability. But, again, perhaps that's just me, as a non-native English speaker.
