It’s working, so I don’t think it’s a typo. Perhaps in this location, the post object has all the attributes which the UserAvatarFlair component expects to find on the `@user` argument? I agree it’s weird looking!

Based on [the PR description](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/33265), it looks like those things were done for consistency with other similar ‘avatar-flair’ outlets (which were probably introduced before ‘wrapper plugin outlets’ were a thing)
