Well, so this is part of the presentation, the temperamental presentation that Altman brings is not this kind of brash, swaggering.
Not at all.
And so I think that's part of the pattern.

You're like, OK, yeah, not particularly shocking.
Kind of Trumpian.
The Altman thing is very low key.
It's very thoughtful.
Part of his pitch is presenting himself as conscientious.
I hear you.
One person, we don't quote this in the piece, but one person once called him the Michael Jordan of listening.

Privately, he was negotiating with the Pentagon for the same contract.
And this gets to the Shakespearean rivalry stuff as well.
This is often personal.
This is often petty stuff.
