lol, in the end you are correct. Im put in a position where people listen, so I need to make sure 15000% everything I say is accurate.

That's funny! +1 to both of you.

Look Guys.

I like Charlie.  He started a terrific and one of the more successful bitcoin business that is obviously helpful to lots of users (if he could only work out all the little bugs!).   We all make mistakes.  I am certain I would do a lot worse in a similar interview.   Charlie is also one of bitcoins most vocal advocates/evangelists and I certainly appreciate that.   And as such he and any other bitcoin advocate does need to prepare talking points so he gets his facts straight.  There is already enough skepticism and confusion in the general media (christ even in the bitcoin world) about what exactly bitcoin is and can be use for.  And there has been enough negative press and unfortunate press interviews that I think it only appropriated to call Charlie to task when he is essentially representing us all.

Keep up the good work Charlie!

Guys don't be so hard on Charlie. Charlie did a really really great job and should not stress about details. I'm sure he has best intentions to find a good balance between relaxed talking and accurate information.

on the other hand I'm sure Charlie doesn't mind us helping him to get his facts straight as long as we're friendly and appreciate his efforts.
