The quote is from 1992 and he spoke privately to initiated "comrades"

Don't focus on minor nuances that are easily adjustable.

You can be wrong and right at the same time.

E.g. Kissinger saying in 1992: "Ultimately, we will have put every human-being on earth in steel cages in 40 years"

30 years later you say "We would never Accept steel cages"

And you end up not in steel cage - but in a concrete one.
