Filled with metaphysical detail

Hi

A certain guy was giving a speech and someone said: He was focused, specific, and filled with metaphysical detail.

--- What does it mean that he was "filled with metaphysical detail"?

To me it doesn't mean anything more that what the words literally say: containing much detail about metaphysical things. It seems unlikely that he would be filled with metaphysical detail, so I assume it means that his speech was. Do you know the subject of the speech?

That would make sense then... lots of scope for metaphysical content there!
