"Described as temporary..."

We read that Smyth was asked to stand down as the head of JASA, and then the sentence "Described as temporary, his return was not thought likely". This can only mean that his return was described as temporary, which is clearly not what is meant here. If the sentence is changed to "This [i.e. his standing-down as head of JASA] was described as temporary, but his return is not thought likely", this passage would be clearer English. And no, this is not grammatical nitpicking!213.127.210.95 (talk) 15:48, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
