Thank you. I didn’t even know this was one of the definitions until seeing your use of it and looking it up. Appreciate you expanding my understanding.
Even the “mild/benign” meaning generally carries a tone of positivity (like a store clerk is trained to be affable–even at their worst they’ll still be polite) so it’s not an exact literal fit here.

In a more professional setting devoid of my joke attempt I would have probably used “inept.”
Yeah, was going for the “mild/benign” meaning.
