This is an excellent point. This talk didn’t really sound condescending, as every other presentation I’ve seen from him did. Condescension and other signs of disrespect are what create polarization. So perhaps it’s that simple, and he doesn’t need to skill up further.
I suspect he does need to skill up to avoid sounding hostile and condescending in conversation, though. The short talk format with practice and coaching may have fixed the real problems.
I agree that sounding unpolished might be perfectly fine.
