I suspect that Nik was alluding to Spencer Kelly's presentational levity and 
the use of phrases like "beared techie". 

I also saw the abrieviated version on News 24 this morning, and concluded that 
they i.e. the presenter and production team, might have made it just a little 
more "serious" (added gravitas ??).

"We" might know the difference, but an outsider/non-linux user could easily 
have taken that apparent levity to be more jokey, than was actually intended.

Ah well!
