So why did he say it?
Ah, back to the current - sorry, ongoing - education crisis where the
response when you point at the stupidity of a student's statement or
answer is: "Well, you know what I mean" when what is said and what is
meant are not the same thing. This is despite having spent seven years
in secondary education, gained an "A" level pass in English, with
distinction, and yet still being incapable of of using their own
language properly. All because teacher was a semi-illiterate as well.
Very, very dangerous in a contractual situation. Also very confusing for
people who can speak English - usually foreigners.
