I actually enjoyed watching his talk. Yes I noticed the humming part but to be honest it didn't bother me that much. Maybe it was because I already knew who he was, already had read many of his essays, knew what he had accomplished. Maybe if it was another person who I didn't know, giving the same talk, I wouldn't have finished it though...

There is something to familiarity that allows for forgiveness. I too have been following him for some time and never considered that this made me see him in a different light. I enjoyed it too
