Got a chance to hear it. I couldn't help but laugh when Davidowitz was like 'stop yelling' or something. Steve's right, he does sound professorial which I happen to find soothing when I listen to him on ATR. When he delivered that line with that tone as Steve's volume ramped up, I'm sorry, it was funny.

Related to the backlash, folks here brought up Amanda Duckworth's article. I felt bad after reading it because some of the commenters were just mean. Most were positive, but I don't get low blows that people make. The defensiveness is crazy. I haven't seen this many flame wars on message boards since the top 100 list came out and folks were up in arms about who's better Man O' War or Secretariat. Seriously, it's apples and oranges. They're both great.
