Were you familiar with her prior to the lecture?

Did the point he was speaking about resonate with you?

Her name was not important.

I did not know who she was, he said, high mark achieving Olympic gymnast. It was exactly all the infomartion needed to make the analogy work. Him using her real name made the story authentic.

It didn't matter if I knew who she was (I did not), I got it perfectly
