Accidental or intentional?

This weeks event back story seems to be confusing Tom Paris with Nicholas Locarno. Both characters were played by the same actor and were (possibly) intended to be the same person at one point.
I'm wondering if this is the devs attempting to make a joke, or if it's an unintentional confusion given the similarity between the characters and the same actor playing both.
Your thoughts?

The line from this event was Cadet Wesley Crusher: "But that's it. Changing the timeline can erase mistakes. Erase mine...and Tom's. What would life be like if we found him and he could live without the guilt of his comrades' deaths on his hands? What do you say, Captain? Think there's a way we can get the best of both worlds?"
Tom Paris was guilty of covering up his pilot error which lead to the death of 3 officers.
Nick Locarno was guilty of having his team run a banned flying stunt that lead to the death of another pilot.
When Wesley says "Erase mine...and Tom's" is he referring to the same mistake, or that they both made mistakes?
The text does say "comrades' deaths on his hands". That implies means multiply comrades died. So that would likely be Tom's guilt not Nick's.
Now the fact that they put that story in the same event with Cadet Crusher is a wink to the same actor.
I thought it was just anti-timey whimey.
You left out spacey wacey
PM for details.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
