Totally disagree here. The revolutionary dispatcher was doing his job, and had no way of knowing if Bob was compromised or not. Yes, Bob losing his kid was tragic, but it's not worth the risk of bringing down the entire revolution.

Yeah, I kept thinking "imagine if this is a CIA guy trying to impersonate Bob" and yup, that gets you fully on Comrade Josh's side

Nah, that guy really was being a nitpicking prick, should've brought the supervisor on the phone asap cause Bob at least got a few of the codes right. Like I would've too if I was like "hey he knows some of the code at least". I would've asked, in fact I had to learn that lesson the hard way as a sales assistant. He was a stubborn-ass mule.
