Why did Glenn Gould hate Chopin?

He made damn sure everyone knew exactly what he hated and why he hated it, but when it came to Chopin the only thing I've ever heard him say is "it goes in one ear and out the other". This is strange since all the other composers he hated were verbally assassinated one way or the other, be it an exhaustive deconstruction of their music or a venomous joke. What's even stranger is that Gould was notoriously intolerant of musical bombast, "heroism", and extraversion in general, Chopin being perhaps the only composer who never dabbled in these things. Add to that Gould's obsession with counterpoint and Chopin's obvious command of the form - op 32/1 and 55/2 being prime examples - and it becomes one of Gould's most enigmatic aspects.

Does anyone know?

He was an inconsistent contrarian jerk. Incidentally he would fit in great around here.
