Respectfully, what made you think this was my intention?

Quite the opposite, personally I am inclined to think that the problem
does exist. In order to fix it however we need a test that reliably
reproduces it first. Otherwise there is no way to figure out whether
the fix was correct or not.

What the experiment showed is that the test scenario you initially
described is probably the wrong one for reasons yet to be understood
and we need to come up with a better one.
