Or perhaps, Musk has conditioned himself to know when to trust the system and when to take over, he remains attentive to the vehicles path at all times during the interview. I believe we all do the same, and rely on our own understanding and driving experiences to determine what the car can and cannot do.
Right... But if (i) Tesla's CEO, primary owner, and most visible spokesperson demonstrates the product on national tv with his hands off , and (ii) Tesla's CEO, primary owner, and spokesperson, essentially says "this is not a problem" when asked by a television personality whether he should be driving that way and (iii) as you say, "we all do the same" (drive hands-free but attentive); then you really have to wonder how serious Tesla is about its instructions that "you must keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times."
The instructions start to look kind of like the warnings on Q-Tip packages that the end of a Q-Tip should never enter the ear canal. The instructions seem less geared towards guiding proper use of the product, and more geared towards protecting Tesla from the legal consequences of the actual most-common use.
