Heheheh. Yep - that was the story he told, and used it to show that he would strive to give not that answer, but the answer that reaches the question in the questioner's mind.
Did you hear his opening statement? Just curious, not meant as critical - he did a good job. Sounded a little nervous, but set out a good personal background.
I was listening on the radio...at first he sounded nervous but it seemed that soon left his voice. He sounded great, a very engaging personality.
