> Phil was always the most boring guy because you always knew exactly what he was going to say and exactly what kind of non-answers he'd give to questions.

I never felt this way. Maybe it’s because I was never in a place where I could ask him questions or watched a presentation where someone could ask him questions.

> I mean yeah, it's great he hits the mark perfectly every time, but it's also so, so boring. He's the classic marketing shill. I wonder if his name is really even Fill Shiller, it's too perfect.

I didn’t see most of his presentations as marketing shill. Maybe I haven’t been paying much attention to that aspect.
