(Q -Palestrina: That's what I mean in fact, how could we move away... We had the impression that, you see, when you said “he
far from the original lines”, as if there was a gap in fact between the solutions.)
MB: But there is one. That is to say, for example, I was asked again last night whether I had lied on the show Dechavanne by saying that I did not know that thing, etc. We must understand that, at the time when all this started, it is obvious that we did not have any criteria, any regular benchmarks. It was the first time that this type of game had happened, at least in France, and so when I found myself on this Dechavanne show, I was warned very shortly before, the editor was there, he was sitting in the front row, right in front of me, on the spectator side. And I was instructed to respond like this, like that, etc., which I did. It's not about lying, it's about presenting your game, and to draw a parallel, therefore with this notion of terms which evolved during the game and responses which evolved during the game on the part by Max Valentin; when he, in the same way as me, I was confronted with a Dechavanne, etc., without much experience, without any experience of the thing.
He was confronted with the media, so it's not just any media, it's L'Express, it's Le Figaro, it's the big national media, especially in the previous century, because they were media which, in paper publications, had many more circulations than today and it was important, so we prepared all that and there was this famous deal which was repeated many times, OK, we'll tell you papers, we will make pages for you, but we need additional information.
