Quote:I mean everyone knows her question is idiotic. He didn't have to point it out. That showed his ignorance.Something isn't quite right here. You say that responding by saying "I'm not going to waste time on this nonsense" is fine, but then go on to say that he didn't have to point out that the question is idiotic. Contradiction much?
Anyway, the point is, "everyone" doesn't know her question was idiotic. There were plenty of people there who thought it was an accurate question. Ignoring these people won't change their minds; getting them to think by showing them how idiotic their questions really are just might open up a few cracks.
