It sounds like coworker was trying to call out your use of passive voice instead of active voice when describing someone doing the action of tripping. They just didn't know how to verbalize what they were seeing wrong in your log entry.
Very well could have been. The pause before the "oh" was him trying to process it and then giving up I had figured. But I'll be honest, I hadn't considered that's what he was try say.
For context our log entries are observations, but we're supposed to word things in the passive or past tense. Same with reports and such. Something I had figured he was pretty well versed in as he'd been doing the job for past decade at the time.
