Does it?

If it was exactly that but he misjudged the external response and resulting consequences, that would also be a reason for regret.

That's very well possible but there is as of now no evidence to substantiate that. But that is what it ultimately could have boiled down to and if there is even a remote chance that it can be spun that way you can be sure that chance will be exploited - even if it wasn't originally the case!
