I think the Dr's job was to explain why what you have now is not going to do it in the future, and what poet has, is the future, I think he was very confident in his response to this. He said that the future needs poet to advance( in not so many words) he is not a spokesman for sham wow, just someone who is very confident in what he has created, now it is up to the world to learn about it, and what it can do.
