Pardon me, but that is just stupid.

Of course. How stupid to think that someone in the middle of a discussion would answer a clearly posed question without first requiring the person who asked it to submit to a grilling about his political history.
What on earth could I have been thinking? Why would I imagine that the person was just doing a silly dance to avoid answering the question?
