Lennart's behavior in that talk does seem obnoxious, but the speaker also seems to be on-board with the adversarial banter, as well as there being acknowledgement of it being somewhat of a discussion-oriented format. Was that the way talks were playing out in general in that room?
- zlg_codes 3y agoI'm afraid that comes off like "If the speaker let it happen it's okay," which just rewards pushiness. As I understand it, conference talks deliver their message first, THEN have a Q&A at the end where details can get sussed out or corrections issued. Lennart's time to complain or correct was after the talk.
- pengaru 3y agoIt depends on the conference/room/speakers. I've been to talks where the format is deliberately more conversational. Lennart's raising that point when questioned specifically made me wonder if the room was already such an environment that day.
