I'm with you Isvari. It makes me uncomfortable because it is like a different world of communication

and access than I have ever known, and this is what works!

I feel a bit icky that this level of flattery is acceptable/effective. Flynn is impressive, of course! It would just have been good to have had a nod to the white and male privilege working here.

Hard work + initiative + talent + white privilege + male privilege = accelerated success.
