Yes, I certainly never had any knowledge whatsoever of Chile, its politics or its street lingo, when in high school, nor did anyone ever share any of that with me. How would I know that they were living a double life, having unmentionable dealings with the community of ex-patriate Chileans living there at the time? I had no idea of any of that. It would seem ridiculous for me to involve myself in the rivalries of Peru vs. Chile. I do not resemble that.
Thus, we can see that it was purely an inadvertent coincidence.
