You are not Isaac Asimov. Therefore you cannot know his mind. So maybe he wasn't boasting at all.

Isaac Asimov wasn't any of the people he wasn't talking about either, so maybe he should've kept it shut about their minds, too.

But that wouldn't make good banter.

If that's true, then he needs to work on his language because it's easily interpreted that way. Either that or the GP needs to expand the quote.
