Funny he was invited to deliver a lecture about Khan...then goes off tangent to promote his own work. Says he doesn't care about craftsmanship, then goes on saying that he was very particular about revealing the brick face. No sloppy mortar = craftsmanship!!!.....lot of jargon in between....and intellectual dishonesty..LOL
