   Uh, pardon the double answer, but to clarify -   
      
   If you meant "we don't know for certain that he went through   
   with the order", then I agree.   
      
   But you didn't say that, you made a declarative "he cancelled   
   the order".   
      
   I thought there might be a "no, on second thoughts don't   
   bother" line in the episode that I had missed or something.
