Yup. My favorite line was "Frankly, I think this all goes back to my childhood, when I would constantly bite people for no reason."
It just leaves the reader in midair. The started reading that sentence expecting an origin story of sorts, but the "origin" of this behavior is just some more history of unexplained biting.
