It may be that, when the question was asked, he was a bit defensive about the accusation that Pentax AF was slow, as it is true that it was a general perception in some quarters. So he may have interpreted that the question had that flavour of perception. True, he was not directly addressing the question of the SSM speed but I am sure it is no worse than the screw drive system, if only faster.
