No. Your thinking makes zero sense. If he went through all the trouble to bring on Chad to use as a scapegoat, then why isn't he throwing him under the bus? Why isn't he blaming him?
As a matter of fact, if anyone asks the company about Chad, they refuse to answer any questions regarding him. Bottom line, the company made mistakes that resulted in delays and Watson took responsibility. No need for a witch hunt.
Your logic is weak and you're grasping at straws.
