So the short answer you should have given is: not really, and he has not acknowledged the actual issues.

so, thank you {/thumbsup}

Edited to Add:
just reread that part of the interview, his last comment about it was:



so, it at least came down to "he understood some parts", but also right directly backpedals. Yoshi-PR at its finest.
What worries me about this most, is that he doesn't understand the core issue why people didn't like it. Sure pacing is apart of it, but the storytelling was just lazy and juvenile. THOUGH I feel like it's because he doesn't want to badmouth his own writers OR because he actually thinks the story was good.
