Re: [Trisquel-users] 2016 RMS talk in Zurich

[enduzzer]

That reminds me of the tea bag episode in the PANtalk Zurich video. RMS  
wanted to clear his voice which was going down -- by drinking tea that was  
supplied, under his explicit wishes I suppose. He was devastated his tea "was  
ruined" because there was no tea bag in the cup and he was half an hgour into  
his speech already. He didn't at first understand that the tea was in the  
pot, diluted and ready to be poured. Later he admitted the tea "was a  
wonderful kind of tea".

I think it's a language barrier at works here that RMS suffers from. He's  
impatient and he takes the words at their face value. He misinterpretes the  
mood and the intention. Maybe he should have a companion translator or the  
questions should be prepared in advance for him to browse. Dunno.
