I left a comment on the web page with the interview. Both Ward and
Markus (the interviewer) responded.
Ward stated:
Michael -- I should have said <( ... ) as described in this post:

Perhaps Markus can revise the post. Or maybe we should make it
mean something awesome.
Best regards. -- Ward
Markus said he's corrected the web page.
