He's a mildly-odd high-end AI researcher with a somewhat cynical Russian outlook, I neither expect nor want highly polished interviews from him. In fact, it's exactly because he's somewhat idiosyncratic that he's fascinating to watch have a conversation.

To research their work and understand it enough to have great conversational flow and remain highly insightful would take a lot of time. But since this isn't his full-time job, I think trading-off asking very good questions for the flow of the dialogue is worth it.
