Asking about a nuanced subject in broad and blunt terms can be pedagogically useful because you hear what people really think, unfiltered ... and maybe they hear it too, priming them to realize that they've been underthinking the topic. From there you can get into nuance, which is easier when you know where you currently stand.
I have no idea what tack this prof took with the question, but I think you've drawn a hasty conclusion here.

I was just asking if he remembers exactly what the professor asked, and saying that the exact phrasing of the question changes my interpretation of the results. I do not expect him to remember, nor do I think there is anything wrong with his comment, but I wanted to ask.
