I mean… I could spend the next 45 minutes laying out the argument in detail, or I could take advantage of our friendly acquaintance to use humor to insert a delay until I have that amount of time available.

I’ve already drafted the answer to one hard question this morning and I’ve only been up for two hours.

And I have to get a beard trim before a meeting in 90 minutes. So we’ll have to pick up this tet-a-tet later on.

PS: I love debates, as long as (a) we’re both seeking to understand (b) it’s intellectually honest (c) and not a waste of my time. None of those three requirements is common, and all three in context is … let’s just say too infrequent. Conversely with fellow academics the desire to seek to understand, especially anything that’s taboo, or tangential is met with intellectual dishonesty, avoiding seeking to understand, and all too often a waste of my time – even when I use my most deferential tone.
