If this is the case, yes I don’t think that he picked it up. He just touched it in a clever way making people think about it. I suppose he is in the know but doesn’t want to be open about it and it’s the right thing to do in his position, living in the US. Btw, AFAIK this metaphor is widely used, no?

Don’t know. I don’t think I have heard it before but it sounds like the kind of thing that is a popular metaphor.
It seems that I unknowingly got influenced by my german background where this metaphor is quite common.
