Effectively. Unfortunately, whatever site that reported on this decided to sensationalize the incident and only focus on the "colorful" tidbits of the whole conversation.
Years ago I met a CFO who had just finished grilling his tech guy for over an hour getting the tech guy to come up with a worst case scenario for the project they were about to begin.
