The question is this, will he admit that it wasn't ACTUALLY an insult? It's not quite like a murderer not thinking what they are doing is wrong, but more like a horse thinking the guy trying to ride it is actually trying to eat it.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
