Well, he's right, it is/was. The funny part is that he's probably most in tune with "DMB" news out of all the band members.
Also, I don't think the question about why he wasn't in the studio with Dave and Carter initially has a complicated answer. Most of it has already been confirmed through interviews. Dave and Rob Evans went into the studio. They laid some stuff down. Rob urged Dave to bring in Carter, and eventually Dave acquiesced. Carter lives in Cville, the studio is in Cville, probably not all that big a deal for Carter to get there. Between Covid, Stefan and the rest of the band members living out of state, and their other obligations and responsibilities, my guess is simply that they came to the studio to record their parts during times that were convenient for them. Alternatively, Stefan could have worked on parts remotely.
I could, of course, be completely wrong.
Keep in mind though, these sessions were not really planned (based on what Dave has said). It's not like 4 months ago each band member was told to keep open 3 weeks in September or October to record.
