If he did that he must have believed that the 'SSDF' position, or perhaps more
accurately, the Bertil-Thoralf position, was leaning to Tiger inclusion.

Since the public fight demonstrates Ed's anger with Enrique and not with
SSDF/Bertil, then can we assume you were arguing for Tiger inclusion?

Can we assume further that the issue was still open and not closed by
contractual commitments at that stage?

But this was not a pre-condition as suggested elsewhere by others ....

pre-condition.
