He's both right and wrong...
He's right...15" could mean "fifteen seconds"...that's what the double prime symbol, ″ is for (in this case, he's substituting the double quote mark for convenience)...if he meant "fifteen minutes", then he should have used the single prime symbol, ′ (or single quote mark for convenience)...
Waiting only fifteen seconds past time and then bailing is being a little bit too anal retentive...especially with hooker time...which makes me think he's wrong...using the incorrect symbol...
