Ok so many listeners are susceptible to this, but why do moderators allow it to happen? The last few times I've seen a moderator say in effect that the person didn't answer the question, it forced the speaker into a laughably fake-sounding and obtuse defensive position and negated any value the pivot might have provided had it escaped notice. It was awesome and I wish it happened all the time.
