This is a limp answer, he seems to be selling another pen, not the one in his hands. After all, if it's really important what pen you use to sign contracts, why would the one on the desk suffice? Why not get a beautiful bimetal nib fountain pen with navy ink?

This answer is not enough "out of the box".

This answer is too much "out of the box" for most CEO's.

That's what I mean, he starts by saying that it matters what type of pen is used, which is why I say "why not", as in, if you're going to tell me I need an important person's pen, why stop at the pen I already have?
