Perfect quote paragraph you have there, it would have been ideal indeed. However i agree he's not there yet, but trying to make the transition in public, while boosting his ego = recipe for disaster. Another way i was thinking about it, is someone on such a high position can't be such a dummy, therefore he might have unconsciously chose to spend some of his accumulated status/power to stoke some awareness to some factor that he believes it should be more spread; and managed to do a terrible job a communication whatever was his thorn.
