    I thought his response was excellent. He made the smart move of analysing the question before attempting to answer rather than the dip-shit move of pretending to understand so as not to look like a dip-shit. The fact that most people are incapable of doing this is the reason he has a career.

      And to beat it all instead of making a hypothetical debate scenario, he was genuine and said he couldn't (or didn't want to) think of a response until he hears exactly what was said.
      He didn't invalidate her (although he did take the piss lol) he also gave her a chance to say what she said she heard and after she didn't remember he at least keeps the dialogue open for the future, but also doesn't give credit to the argument until he hears it actually voiced.
      Very basic, but very forgotten in this age of the internet. Too many people get pedantic far too quickly for no point.
