: ваш вариант о тех, кто говорит (много), но не делает (ничего конкретного). А тут "товарищ" просто ошибся, судя по контексту.

that is not comme il faut
Не надо ее вставлять
Тыканье носом тут как-то не принято... Особенно от посторонних. При любом раскладе, даже если товарищ и не прав. Нужно просто попросить переслать точные данные и напомнить о сроках. Товарищ и сам поймет, что был неправ и что его ошибка замечена. Или обратиться к его менеджеру с просьбой проконтролировать. А так - можно, конечно, по-нашему, по-рабочему, да поймут ли...
