Why are you using "he" here?

Agreed, should be he/she/they :)

Hmmm I don't get your point... but, that's what we were taught at school, to use "he" when referring to an unknown third person.

Is there a better way to refer to an unknown person?

Been edited 🙂

I just looked that up and understood that it's related to gender inclusive lang issues...

Sorry for not being aware of those (before), and thanks for letting me know.
