I've Never met?

I was watching a movie titled "Flight" and heard a boy (the main character's son) say, "I have to write an essay for college applications. The essay I have to write is the most fascinating person I've never met." It was the very ending of the movie, so it just stuck in my ear. Wasn't the line supposed to be "The essay I have to write is the most fascinatingn person I've ever met?" I checked the subtitles just in case.

(This is how the story goes)

The boy's father was an ex-pilot whose plane fell down but miraculously saved most of the passengers's lives.

However, he was alchoholic and he was even drunk on the day of the flight. He was later sentenced to five years in

prison. He had had a very bad relationship with his ex-wife and son, but his son visited him in prision several years

later. It's supposed to be a moving ending.....
