“It’s important in racing because the nitrogen from a tank is dry, and there’s less variability in the temp vs pressure curve. “

Air from a tank is ‘basically’ dry. Consider that the ‘moisture’ in the air is water vapor ... a gas. All gases expand according to the formula PV=nRT. Granted that the coefficient does change slightly for different gases and at different pressures but not so much to be noticed at these conditions.

Well, I guess he was told to say "I have no knowledge of how it happen."

He must have said that at least half a dozen times in the interview a few minutes ago.
