A few times in this interview Ball will start with some background that sounds like it's going to answer the question asked, and then ramble for a few minutes on some topic he knows about which doesnt answer the question asked.
This ostentatiously conventional thinker is exactly how I picture an editor of Nature. I guess you don't get a job like that if you are willing question the received party line of our managerial elites on even a single issue.

You are not wrong.
I am disapointed by the blandness of his thoughts. I hoped for more. He seems deeply anti-humans.

A conventional thinker who is ostentatious is only possible in your in your muddled mind.
