Somewhere in the recesses of my mind, I recall an interviewer asking a question regarding Dr. Patterson, It was off the cuff...not a character assassination...but entered some Pollyanna reasoning on a conscious level. I believe he went to school with Dr. P. That's about it... he came across politically and ambiguous seemingly concerned about backlash...Whatever it was it was not complimentary...too smart for his britches was the sense I got. After the TedTalk I was super high on Dr. P. but, still had that nagging feeling.
