Zuckerberg's answers were really bizarre (though I appreciate what he was saying about Silicon Valley, which is a reaction to his belief there are too many tech employees who don't commit to a long term vision.)
But bizarrely, he said 1) he had no intention of forming a company when he came to Silicon Valley, even though, 1) they brought interns and 2) had already incorporated badly.
Even more odd was his assertion he started with the idea of building a social graph identity system and then built Facebook. I'm not knocking either of those innovations, but I seriously doubt this narrative. I think the graph grew out of watching what people did on Facebook and then realizing, brilliantly, how he could build an extensible social-identity service that would turn Facebook into internet infrastructure, instead of a MySpace replacement that could be jettisoned by users when the next cool social network (Google+, for instance) came around.
