Tessio didn't have Michael's brain -- uh -- for big deals
Michael immediately quizzed Tessio “You talked to him”? [Barzini] when Tessio told Michael at Vito's burial, Barzini wants to arrange a meeting to straighten any of their problems out....
Tessio/Barzini meetingI reckon, the giveaways even without Vito's warning
1. Funeral is not the time and place to arrange meetings?
2. Normal procedure, Barzini's consigliere would approach Michael's consigliere
3. How and why rival Don and Capo were even talking, in the first place
