Lahey No-Knead baloney

After re-watching the NYT video of Jim Lahey making his "No-Knead" bread I have noticed something I didn't see before. Watch it again and see if you can catch it:

... did you see it?

Answer: the bread after the 19 hour rise time is sticky as a glue ball. However, the dough he starts to handle is anything but sticky. In fact it has a beautifully smooth and silky consistency.
