Showing up late for everything isn't a sign of a competing commitment if we have a good reason for being late.

A good reason can explain a particular delay, but it does not automatically rule out a competing commitment behind a repeated pattern of lateness. A competing commitment is an unspoken priority or concern that conflicts with the stated goal of being on time, so the statement that lateness is not a sign of one whenever there is a good reason is false.
