This is the only line in the link that supports the headline, and - seeing as how it includes the author's judgment about the facts but does not include any of the actual facts - I find it extremely unconvincing.
That doesn't mean the headline is wrong, but it's bad journalism to skip facts and just substitute your own judgments instead. I normally expect better from Ars.
Did the judge interrupt opening to ask a question? If so, what was the question? If not, what does it mean to "appear[] briefly confused"? Did he have a particular look on his face? Don't bother looking in the linked article for the answer to these questions, because you won't find it.
