Jeans are not smart business attire. Google’s code is casual, not smart business.

I work at Google. I would not describe Google’s dress code as “smart business attire”.

What's your point? If you find a photo of Larry Page in pajamas then you should be able to wear that to any Google event?

The point is that Pichai observes the dress code requested by the event host.

Did I make it so obscurely?

To counter, the dress code was vague and imprecise. See my other comment here- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42528218

EDIT: Actually, the poster above was not accurate. The dress code is found here- https://www.fide.com/docs/regulations/wrbc_regulations_2024_...

And it was much more precise than "smart business attire.".

Nope. It explicitly disallowed jeans.

You are correct, I have edited my comment.

I was not responding to you.

Does Larry Page regularly do business events in pajamas?

Yes, obviously.
