I think the main point is that that seems to be first time that Ginsberg didn't straight up answer a question, for whatever reason. It caught my attention as well. Actually, I'm surprised this is first time Ginsberg has answered a question in a deflective manner. I'm amazed that he's been answering so definitively.
As for Rugger's "I think there's something there" well, I hope not.
And, I have to say Florio asked excellent questions.
