It was one of the last Q&A's that he did, I remember that.
He stated something along the lines of it also helping to initiate engaging in a block(as reddogrw has posted here) , and works on ST's.
This is what I remember as well. This quote led to people actually using Run and Pass Block instead of skipping it or just adding points to get further into the tree.

run block SA's help, as do any skills that apply bonuses directly to attributes. Vision, blocking, strength, agility, etc apply as in all block-related rolls. Hold block% just specifically applies to holding a block.
