Everyone in the audience will recognise when someone is being a dick and will be praying for them to stop grandstanding.
“Great questions/point - would be great to pick it up with you later. Any other questions?”
- rzzzt 18d agoIt seems every question is great on the presentations I'm listening to, which is practically impossible. It's most likely a bell-shaped curve on the greatness scale. We should be hearing "that's a bad question" every now and then.
- jamiejquinn 18d agoAhh I see you've never been to a physics conference!
- dmd 18d agoI heard a speaker once say "that's a [obvious pause] question" and the audience giggled because it was obviously a really poorly thought out question.
- pseudohadamard 17d agoI've used "please phrase your question in the form of a question" when the person in the audience is using it as a platform to deliver a long speech.
