No, I think what he said was deliberate. It was said in a very matter-of-fact manner, so that's the way I took it. Like you said, Fredo was never present when the Don or the others discussed business. He obviously was not considered to be of any value as to contributing ideas, etc, so I think Tom's omission is deliberate.
