@adversary@rodhilton Yeah, what clinched it was a talk with Brian Mosdell, where when he was being hired, instead of Musk wanting to talk to him about landing pads (the area he was being hired to do) and wanted to talk about the delta IV engines Mosdell had worked with previously. The engines were public info he could read up on, but cold reading makes you look weirdly over-competent when the other person is THE expert in the field (since you're reflecting their knowledge).
