It was clear that Lotson had known all along that Frist wasn't aware, and had considerately inquired about Frist's thoughts instead of informing him directly.
After giving it serious thought and realizing the possibility of achieving Saint status was minuscule, Frist nodded, "Please, let me know."
Unconsciously, Frist had adjusted his posture and terminology when facing Lotson.
He hadn't directly called him "Saint," just the difference between "you" and "you."
Although this detail was minor, it was extremely important.
In dealing with people and matters, posture really was important.
"I won't tell you the specifics."
Suddenly, Lotson changed his mind again and said, "I'll just briefly highlight a few points."
"Please, go ahead."
Frist certainly had no objections.
It was still the same old belief that knowing too much wasn't necessarily a good thing.
