     No you didn't--you said it was okay because it was Buenos Aires
and the milonga was not filled with tourists, and thus could be
counted on to be predictable and stay in their own lanes.

       Which makes it all the more likely nobody appreciated what he
did either.  But Delgado gets an Old Milonguero Get Out Of Jail Free
card but Gavito doesn't?

       This is all a bit beside the point anyways--old milongueros
have probably earned the right to do whatever they want, but the rest
of us who compose the other 99% of the dancing population can't say
the same.
