I am being dead serious here, because of an experience I actually had with Monson.
He was my Aunt and Uncle's Bishop. When my Uncle died, he was still the 1st Counselor in the FP. Somehow arrangements were made and he came and talked at my Uncles funeral dumb da dadda dumb....about MY UNCLE.
He went on and oh about how he had know my aunt and uncle when they were young marrieds, how he had reactivated my uncle, how great my uncle was. He focused solely on my uncle. The guy even shed some tears. I don't know if he was faking or not, but it was nothing about him. He did mention how great it would be after death when we could all be together again, but really didn't PREACH at us.
Now the Bishop on the other hand....well he was one of my 'role models' in the birth of Bishop Rood.
He get's up, says he didn't KNOW my uncle all that well, but since Monson was there he would spend the portion of his time KISSING HIS ASS, and bragging about his accomplishments in the Church.
Monson had this look on his face like 'who the hell is this guy?'
One of the most interesting funerals I've ever been to.
I don't think this CHI thing came from Monson, it came from Correlation or some other committee without inspiration, at least from the 'Prophet'
