| Jay520 said: I disagree. Some questions can be very complex and sensitive, requiring a bit of time to formulate a decent response. Of course in a debate though, if a person pauses or uses verbal fillers when trying to formulate their response, it would appear that they don't know the answer. In actuality though, they could just be ensuring they don't make a slight error resulting in an awkward response. |
Could be, I agree. But probably not. Particularly among politicians, who are not particularly given to nuanced or deep and meaningful answers but rather prefer the most politically expedient ones.
