I had the occasion to listen to him at a conference and I should say that this man is one of the most clever I have ever heard.
I could sound phony as a comment but it is really the case. I like his way of explaining the most complex concepts in a way that makes them clear and easy for the audience (Even if it is not as easy as it could sound).
