I mean... I feel like this has been done to death. Way back when Holmes was at Stanford she proposed stuff similar to what she was doing to Phyllis Gardner (a respected professor at Stanford) and Gardner's response was basically "what you're proposing is not phsyically possible." The second half of Ken's statement is the real meat of this: he was skeptical, but John produced the goods. And that's the crux of it. It's one thing to say "Hey, this self-driving car thing seems a bit far-fetched." It's quite a different thing to get the engineers working on it to admit that the facts are untrue. (Not saying that's the case, just a likely example).
