[ The thing is he looks a lot like Sylar, but Nathan hasn't actually met him, just followed the guy around a little bit in the medbay, and so the tilt of his head doesn't come off as anything but Spockish. It's a little reassuring, at least.
Unfortunately the explanation rapidly goes right over his head, just after 'The Tranquility exists on a'. He tries to keep up - he really does - but he has no head for science at all, and the long words that he knows aren't 'universal continuum' and 'vibrational frequencies', and somewhere he hears the echo of his brain's dying scream. The worst part is that he doesn't want to look like a laymen, considering how much he has to prove, but that's exactly how he's going to come off, whether he pretends he knows what the hell Spock's talking about or announces his insufficiency. In effect: it's a real kick in the teeth.
He said the only honest thing he could.]
It's convinced me you're not Sylar, and that's gotta count for something.
