That still doesn’t make a lick of sense in this context. It has the feel of someone picking the wrong word entirely.

just agree to disagree I guess? I considered circumvent which is similar, but also it might be an EN-UK vs EN-US thing (I grew up in England)

That might be it. Circumvent in this context would make perfect sense to me, but circumnavigate threw me for a loop.
