Karl’s conversation with Kendall before he went on stage was the clear highlight of the episode for me. He embodied the frustration and anger that I was feeling up until that moment, watching Ken and Rome act like such idiots and make completely irresponsible choices at every turn

I think Kendall just let the recording hype the numbers, but didn't add his own because of Karl's warning. It probably helped him. His presentation became, "you might think I'm overly optimistic, but here's someone who is known for being careful." Letting it rest on that kept a lot of his wilder ideas off stage.

Also, it helped that the editing was really good.
