Respectfully, you missed the point I was making. I wasn't making the point that that event was 100% an exercise, because like you say, there is no way to really know. I was making the point that there was nothing about that situation that excludes it from being an exercise.
In other words, it's accurate to say that there is no way to know if it was an exercise, but it's not accurate to say that it couldn't be an exercise.
