Yes.  In fact, the "silliness" of it is a clue.

When someone makes a statement which is, on the face of it, outrageous,
rediculous, or silly then no one should take it at face value.  I suspect that
outrageous statements about Bob Hyatt's intentions were merely to get a reaction
from Bob or, at the very least, to rib him a little bit.  Apparently it not only
worked with Bob but with others as well!  : )

Incidentally, Vincent responds sometimes to such prods too!  [I hope the
moderator doesn't zap me for saying that.]
