Yep; there are often really good reasons to do things. In this case, you probably felt compelled to say something.
The timing was just off, legitimate reasons or not; it got people thinking you were both nervous, but also not concerned with being targetted by Andross. You didn't personally make many obvious mistakes, and even that much wasn't enough to turn the tide against you solely. It was good detective work that did that.
A stunning and near-victorious run; nothing to be ashamed of here.
