My point was that those 2 conditions cannot exist simultaneously, showing how frivolous the suit is. They're flinging turds at the wall to see how many stick.
Hypothetical situation showing non-mutual exclusivity:

Track will be safe in 4 minutes.
Flagger tells the car go in 2 minutes.
Driver decides that the flagger is being too cautious and leaves after 1 minute.

Both the driver and the flagger contributed to the wreck.
