Why didn't Vegeta ever mention Tarble in Z, when talking about the Saiyans?

[Warmmedown]

Can't remember if he said why in the 2008 special.

Was it because he's too weak to mention? But he's stronger than both of Raditz and what they assumed Goku would be (when sending Raditz to recruit him), plus maybe Nappa.

Because Tarble was just a child.

Because he’s weak and irrelevant. Vegefa also had no idea where he lives or even if he was alive. What makes you think he’s so strong?

 

[Warmmedown]

He's a high class saiyan and Vegeta's brother so must be stronger than the typical low class ones. Vegeta was already 500 at birth.
Is he irrelevant when telling Goku that he and Goku are the only remaining saiyans?

He’s not a high class Saiyan, that’s why he was sent away. I think Vegeta expected him to be dead because he was so weak.
