Sure, but your initial dismissal ("95% X, 5% Y") is literally about this talk no? And when you say 'it's "in one ear, out the other" with most of his audience' that's based on some previous experience, rather than the talk itself? I guess I got confused what applied to what event.

Maybe I'm extra slow today, how does this tie into our conversation so far? Does it have anything to do with determinism or what was the idea behind bringing it up? I'm afraid you're gonna have to spell it out for me, sorry about that :)
hehe, I wish.
The topics in the talk are not new. They have been explored and pondered up for quite a while now.
