Yea,.... he didn't. He was extremely careful to make sure it didn't sound like what you are portraying. He was answering a direct question about what might happen if we vote no, giving his best idea on the reality of the situation. Absolutely did not sound like a fear mongering sales pitch. Quite the opposite.
