8 predictions · 11 assertions · 5 opinions · 15 insights · 13 disclosures · every statement was checked.

How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Tim McCusker on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.
