No, he's totally aware of the fact that people treat you differently to your face. You're totally not evaluating his argument in good faith (e.g. jumping to the least charitable interpretation).
Here is his response to that: https://twitter.com/paulg/status/538816535930748928/ https://twitter.com/paulg/status/538816535930748928/

- argonaut 12y agoI was addressing the parent's assertion that "It just seemed to lack the self awareness that founders probably treat him differently than the average person they interact with." Clearly PG does have that self-awareness. The problem with what you're saying is that it almost falls into the class of unfalsifiable assertions. Meaning there's virtually no way to disprove what you're saying (not in the sense that it is proved true, but in the sense that it is nearly impossible to prove either way). Even if PG were to assert vigorously that he has spotted many cases of people being nice to his face but being mean elsewhere, you could just continue to assert "Well he just hasn't spotted it well enough."
