Another day, another interview in a newspaper, and same old, same old spin.

you would prefer to disbelieve
potential to go frighteningly wrong
freely admits he spends much of his time either in the library or on the
Internet
I lerrrrv that `freely admits'. He reads! He thinks! It's sickening, it's a
filthy habit, but at least he has the minimal grace to *freely admit it*.

direction of
exhilarating
wildly optimistic
exciting
Ah well. Try again.
