    He was claiming that the "The Road Ahead", Bill Gates' first book of the "visionary" type, did not have any vision for Internet in it, thus implying that Gates should not be treated as visionary whose predictions are always 100% correct.

    Not to nitpick but from the George W. Bush Amazon page:

    President Bush promised to make educating every child his top domestic priority and reform a system that has failed the most needy students in our nation's classrooms. He proposed a comprehensive, bipartisan plan to improve overall student performance and close the achievement gap between rich and poor students in America's more than 89,599 public schools.


    I mean, if it's more than 89599, wouldn't it be easier to say "less than 90,000"?
