I agree.  It would have been much better if he had said that he reads
recreationally and recently finished Alan Greenspan's new memoir, but had a
few quibbles about his particular implementation of economics theory.  
 
He's young.
 
He didn't think about how the newspapers were going to construe a comment
like that.  Or perhaps he was posturing for his teammates, because he likely
gets a fair amount of abuse from some of his peers that he graduated from
Northwestern.
 
You're right.  We don't know.
 
Clearly though, we care.
