Fair enough. Sometimes it's really difficult to separate the context that you already have from what you see. I've read the novels, so when I saw that scene it instantly clicked with the additional level of detail you get there about Kirito's technical aptitude.
The author quote you provided is very interesting, and confirms my suspicions. I really should pay more attention to Twitter.
(I can't believe I just wrote that sentence.)
