I think you've gone for semantics over content.
Such as focusing on the words he uses instead of what he's asking. Timing and context my friend. He asked after Jan said they were the same. So, are you accusing white of outing himself as a doc because of that post? No I don't think so, you focused on some details and missing the big picture.
From that exchange I got the very clear impression white was testing Kahn.
