Yes, you are right. Not correcting the perception in public is as bad as
lying straight out. I have not heard squat from him or his cronies on any
list about this issue and that pretty much says it all.

It's too bad as he's a likable bloke when you meet him, I don't think he
needs to promote misperceptions, show's a severe lack of self esteem.

By the way I forget to mention that when you translate "Marine mammal
handler and trainer" at the Marine Science Museum, this is the person who
spends their day chopping up mullet and squid into bite-size pieces to feed
the fish. And they don't even get a tip.
