My impression is that PG often says things that require unpacking. There's not a lot of meaningless fill. You might say that when he talks about startups, he's using a DSL. Since Ohanian has been talking startups with PG about as long as anyone except people like Morris, it would not be surprising if he was likewise fluent in the DSL.

To me this seems more likely than the hypothesis that PG said something stupid and Ohanian passed it along as a Pearl of Wisdom. I'd run some back of envelope calculations on why I hold that opinion about the likelihood, but I wouldn't want to bore you again.
