> often I find his writing and speaking to be more than imprecise

I think that's more because he's trying to write to an audience who isn't hardcore deep into ML already, so he simplifies a lot, sometimes to the detriment of accuracy.

At this point I see him more as a "ML educator" than "ML practitioner" or "ML researcher", and as far as I know, he's moving in that direction on purpose, and I have no qualms with it overall, he seems good at educating.

But I think shifting the mindset of what the purpose of his writings are maybe help understand why sometimes it feels imprecise.
