It's not an excuse. Carver was referencing the scene where Goku and Roshi were trading blows in that episode at the stupid Tien temple. The one where Goku is going at it with Roshi and having a good time doing so. There was absolutely nothing in this episode to refute that that happened and actually some stuff to legitimize it. I bring up headcanon because that's basically what you're relying on to suggest something besides what the animation and statements were telling us. Pure and simple.
Roshi mafuba solo'd Vegeta and even though that happened, we know Roshi is still a flee to Vegeta... quite simple.
What? Nah, there's nothing simple about that. That argument is basically the equivalent to saying it rained on Tuesday, therefore 9/11 was an inside job. Like what?!?! It doesn't follow. It's one big fat non sequitur. What happened is that Roshi tried to mafuba Magetta, Frost surprisingly interfered and managed to reverse the mafuba to Vegeta. Whether Roshi would be able to successfully pull off the technique in a legitimate 1 v. 1 fight with Vegeta is a different story (and I doubt it personally), but it still doesn't allow us to infer that he's a flea to base Goku or Vegeta.
And the best is that in reality you actually agree with carver about Roshi being a flee to Goku, Vegeta or Frost
I don't (for starters, I don't even know what a 'flee' is). But if it's easier to cope thinking that, then by all means. 😂
