Chomsky's exchange with Harris struck me as out of character. I've seen dozens, maybe hundreds, of Chomsky's interviews and Q&A sessions. What always comes across, besides his luminous and discerning intellect, is his patience. Even when I've seen random people angrily question him about silly fringe theories - Bush did 9/11; chemtrails - he calmly, respectfully, and methodically points out what he believes are the flaws in those theories step-by-step. I don't know Chomsky personally so I can't speculate about his interaction with Harris, but it is unfair to judge a man on the basis of a single interaction.
