This is an excellent point (broadly) business jargon hits the ear completely wrong if you don’t hear it day in and day out. The acronyms alone get me.
But also agree that for a public call, he should know better than to divide the visitors to his park into “favorable and unfavorable”. I mean, if you are going to be CEO, have a little common sense.
