Better question: What is the point of asking you a simply question. Try to
follow along, Eric:

1. You report that you were sent a video of a book signing address at which
Nielsen made a comment.

2. You further report that you didn't note Nielsen's "exact words", but
that you can "loosely paraphrase what Nielsen said.

3. I asked you why you don't watch the video sufficiently to note Nielsen's
exact words, and reproduce *those words* here, rather than loosely
paraphrasing the source (which in this case would be Nielsen).

Is there some part of my question that you now do not understand (not that
it could by any stretch of anyone's imagination that I ever requested you to
quote someone else's paraphrase)?

Were *you* able to deduce it after *you* read the book?
