>It's well known I'm a Scientologist, and that has helped me to find that inner peace in my life and it's something that has given me great stability and tools that I use.

Has anybody else noticed that whenever Tom Cruise gets asked to give a number relating to something on e. g. David Letterman, he always hesitates for a second and then answers "about 45", "somewhere around 45" or "around 40", always a number between 30 and 45. Why?
Some examples of this in David Letterman that I can recall off the top of my head include :
>in the late 80s something in regards to sports cars
>in the early 00s something about mountain climbing
>in the early 10s how many movies he has been in
>and more
What does it mean? Some kind of psychological manipulation? Code?
