His analogy made no sense I can tell you that.  He said: "If I was giving a speech in front of 45,000 people and someone in the back threw a pie, would I spend the next 2 hours of my speech responding.....".   
  
I have three real problems with that: 
  
1. 2 hours?  What kind of speech last two hours? 
  
2. Are there 45,000 people on Earth that would attend a speech by this particular nerd? 
  
3. Who the heck has a strong enough arm to throw a pie over 45,000 people?  Does the pie have wings? 
  
It doesn't add up.
