These folks are bright, intelligent leaders in their respective fields that are giving collectively millions of dollars, hours, and resources straight to you because they believe in you. If they choose to talk to you during kickoff, it's probably because they have something important/inspirational to say, and you should probably pay attention.
I have always been confused by the hordes of people who swarm Dean wherever he goes, give two minute standing ovations whenever his name is mentioned, and then gripe when he wants to talk to us.
Dean Kamen is a pretty smart dude. If he wants to talk to me, I want to listen.
