Seems like English is not your first language ..?
He’s very articulate, and not only does he make a lot of sense, I’ve never seen him caught in a lie.
And I have no idea what makes you think it’s pub talk, I’m from the land of pubs (Ireland) and I’ve never heard anyone talk like he does in one.
- nikofeyn 8y agowhat good does it do pointing that out, if it's even true? it's clear they meant articulate and public.
- freyir 8y ago“Pub talk” is a thing, and “can’t discern from overengineered pub talk” makes sense. “Can’t discern from overengineered public talk” is plausible, but it would be very unusual to phrase it that way. It’s not really clear that he meant "public."
- agumonkey 8y agoI meant a never ending stream of sophisticated ideas and precise data that leads nowhere. I used to watch every interview of the guy[1] and .. I always left the video empty minded. [1] he seemed to have human values and of course knowledge about the topic
- freyir 8y agoOk, we're going down a rabbit hole here, but just to clarify, you meant "pub talk" as in the kind of conversation people have at a pub after a few beers? Or "public talk" as in a public speech, as nikofeyn suggested?
- nikofeyn 8y agoi can see "overengineered pub talk" as a specific critique instead of them meaning public. i am probably wrong there. but the point still stands as it's rude and not important to make a mention of their english, especially when it seems what they meant is one of two things, both of which make sense.
