"Know" in the sense EY used it != have read, watched interviews, etc.
I took it to mean more personal interaction (even if through comments online).
Especially since "know of" exists as a common phrase to cover the meaning "have read, watched interviews, etc."
I have had classes with them, asked questions. and met them personally. I should have anticipated disbelief. And yes, I didn't notice that I categorized Marcello as non-math, sorry Marcello!
Oh. Cool! Less disbelief, more illusion of transparency.
If a randomly selected person says, "I know X (academically) famous people." I myself usually assume through impersonal means.
Update'd. Carry on :D
