Quine's difficult speech, though irritating, is a superficial problem. However, the logical errors, as pointed out by ben23 ("so to be clear...") back on pg 9, are very disturbing indeed.

Hang on: I was wrong. I am really sorry, if I offended any Quine-fans. I really didn't get his point, but now I do: I've been having problems with sleeping for years. But watching this has solved all my problems. Quine is a Genius! Who needs Valium when you can just listen to this on repeat!

@craigpsimpson I think what you mean to say, is that stylists are not philosophers.

get that man a lozenge!!

Too many people judge a person's intellignece or intellectual contribution to a field by his speaking ability. Quine is a giant in philosophy.
-
I think one reason for Quine's difficulty in speaking is that he is having to instantly simplify very complicated philosophy into a sort of Cliff Notes version for a TV show. This is not an easy thing to do, and in addition he is having to simplify in a manner dictated by the host and not himself.

@craigpsimpson His prose is as dry as it shall be.

A good philosopher is not necessarily a good talker. Read his book rather than watching this interview.

@ivanoschen It has to be said, his prose is pretty dry aswell. But philosopher's aren't stylists, he destroys modality regardless of aesthetics.
