Aren't you just confirming the author's point. You can dance around only certain ways with words. Either he could have said they don't liked the lifestyle and he likes to fight. Or he could have at least given some reason or argument against the question. Incapable in dealing with things inside him doesn't mean incapable of answering a simple question.
I don't see it that way. The author was saying he was never told it. He WAS told it, he just didn't acknowledge/pretended not understanding it, which is the step after.
