I don't think we can infer anything from his response to the question.

What he could've said if he really wasn't aware, was that he wasn't aware of the technicalities of the rule/exemption, but that as he wasn't planning to sign any RFA's from other teams, and thus he hadn't investigated all the details involved.
If he wanted to stick it to Feaster from there, he would've added that "but before I would move ahead on that situation, I would've gotten clarification before proceeding if the organization had any doubt of the interpretation"
