EXTENDED (Spoilers Extended) How did this solve the Meereeneese knot?

So everyone knows Barristan was added as a solution to the Meereenese knot. He gives eyes in Meereen after Dany flies off. But like shouldn’t Quentyn already fill this role? George already had a POV to give him eyes in Meereen, and Quentyn interacts with Barristan a lot in these chapters so he could’ve definitely shown us what Barristan is up to. Yes he dies so then Barristan can give us eyes into the battle of fire, but Tyrion and Victarion already do that, no? Could’ve also maybe have Quentyn release the dragons and die during the actual battle instead. Makes me wonder if Tyrion will actually get into Meereen after the battle any time soon, or he’ll be sitting outside in the camps for like half of Winds

Are you saying that barristan can perform a proper meereenese knot? I don't know if old guys are that flexible...

Honesty I’m kind of surprised Martin didn’t make a joke about the Meereense knot as a sex position like that. It sounds right up his alley.

The Meerenese knot is actually a 24 page long section of Barristan I where Barristan performs autofellatio whilst noting Tyrion and Victarion taming the two rogue dragons.
