The positioning to me (which drifts over time) is less interesting than the higher quality of the discourse.
Granted, this was in a smaller venue, but seeing H.W. actually consider the question on the spot and deliver an on-topic, detailed answer outlining his position was... refreshing.
Presumption that the question is valid and interesting, the asker is to be respected, and supporters of the platform espoused and opponents have good points and should be respected.
Empathetic disagreement is not something you typically see anywhere recently. It's been boiled down to staccato sound bites.
