As news coverage goes, the apparent tone underlying that interview was
of the "oh God they've stuck a camera and microphone in my face and I
can't extrapolate a random variable with a quadratic trend in my head"
ilk.
If anything, this suggests that the press (and general public) need
access to some very well-prepared web pages which concisely and
accurately lay out all the issues of leap seconds now and into the
future.
