If it were a bench trial, no judge would hold it satisfies doubt. It would easily be reversed on appeal. The question is never if "reasonable people wouldn't" do something. It's whether not the individual on trial did or didn't.
If it were a jury trial, the instructions to the jury would likely make it clear that what other people may or may not normally do is not dispositive of the question of whether the defendant did it.
Not that it matters, because any competent defense counsel would have objected any such notion out of evidence anyway, and if he couldn't, he would have a strong closing statement and grounds for appeal.
You have no evidence of any of this.
