(Q - Uncle Nono: Michel, there are people on this discord who say they found this expression and that it called into question their hunting, that they considered it in another way
Well, a priori, we have no reason not to believe them and there are even some who went as far as digging and they failed.
MB: no one found the expression and today, no one has understood that it was such a banal expression and at the same time fully meaningful if we look at its etymology, its origin, that it could well bring something new to the vision of things for owlers. And that expression there no, no, no one hit anyone.
(Q – Hogan: Michel, I'm going to make a joke, the fact of not finding the expression, you could say of us that we are not Enlightenment?)
MB: no, no, it's not at that level, Max Valentin was what he was, I said what I said about it, I wrote what I thought about it have written and I think what I think of it, but there is one thing that I will never take away from him, on which we should never underestimate him, and that is that he was someone of very intelligent, he was someone who had real professional skills and he was someone who put his story together very, very well.
Consequently, this expression of which everyone, well, of which no one in fact notices the importance, detects the importance, this expression, it is very important, it is decisive. And he had the intelligence to place it so that Well yes well yes well yes “Elementary my dear Watson”, well no it’s not elementary my dear Watson it’s much more, it’s much more vicious than that , and here we are dealing with a communicator who was a talented communicator.
As much as I can reproach Max Valentin for things, I will never, never, never try to say that this guy wasn't intelligent, that he wasn't someone of a certain kind, brilliant and that he didn't bring a lot to this hunt. Far be it from me to demolish it completely. My approach today is to reestablish the truth around history. And this truth is that we were dealing with a communicator who communicated, he sold his sauce, he designed this hunt as a promotional product for a hypothetical future client who would say Ok, let's do the thing to sell something.
And so it was the words of a communicator, of someone who mastered the word, who knew very well what words to use to get the adrenaline pumping in his reader, and that's it.
(Q - ??: And so Michel, this expression that you are talking to us about, we clearly agree that it is, it appears in the book of solutions, that is to say that …)
MB: but absolutely, but of course, it appears clearly, it appears clearly in the book from the beginning, it is absolutely obvious and for anyone who does not perceive, the thing, as I said, and It’s funny to say that. But it actually looks creamy, we don't care.
(Q – Bioposis: Michel. When you saw it, you said to yourself it's incredible, they won't find it or the first time you read the solutions and you had access to this expression, you said to yourself Ah damn, yes, damn, well I hadn't thought of that, even you.)
MB: I couldn't have thought about it since I hadn't really looked into hunting on the one hand and on the other hand knowing the solutions, I said to myself yeah, yeah, we had to find that one. This is where I say, it takes cleverness, the pirate has done his job.
