Actually, at this point, it doesn’t matter what he says anymore.
Anyone interested is starting a betting pool? If he makes it to the end of the year without assuming room temperature, I will be very surprised.
I wouldn't be so sure. I expect that he has saved out some particularly embarrassing memos to be dribbled out if he was to "disappear" suddenly, without explanation. A poison pill life insurance policy as it were.
