*sigh*
I'm not trying to say the man is faking anything.
Faking or "not being 100% genuine" is not far from each other. Sure, one word as an extreme negative connotation, but the essence is the same, change the words and my point is still valid. What I'm basically saying is that taking this level of analysis over one word is like judging someone from a photograph, that's all, and it wasn't directed to you anyway, you just happened to ask a slightly inapropiate question to open the dialogue and he may have taken it the wrong way a little bit. It happened to me with another musician I met at his clinic, no big deal, wrong timing, that's all. All the analysis that came after your post is what I find blown out of proportion.
