I don't disagree, because I think in theory if the "man" being discussed is an alien in a role that is not gender-specific, it shouldn't count as a "man", and therefore conversations about Klaatu shouldn't count as "talking about a man" but I thought I was alone in that theory. So I assume there must have been conversations relating to the spaceship and stuff that I don't recall.
