And we absolutely wanted to shoot the tester who gave us this use case.

Why? Because he tested well and broke the software? A user changing their mind during a guided activity absolutely is a valid use case.

I think they meant shoot in like a friendly way. You know, happiness bullets!

Like how I always say to my friends, "Look at me again and I will fucking murder you and rape your family dog".. it's just in good fun.

It's likely a difference of emotion compared to logic. Emotionally they'd think "Damn it, now we need to check for such a weird specific edge-case, this is so annoying" while logically knowing it's better the tester caught it.
