Your right! He did have them cowed and I admit I loved it. Perhaps if he had some higher powered adversary he would get more response or maybe his argument was too strong alowing no response. Before he sprang his trap the comments and thoughts of the panel were pretty low key and unfocused. He brought them to focus quickly. Maybe its just me, but I didn't see the connection beforehand and was startled when he brought it out.

Like the liberals at work I have to have coffee with every day.
Not only that, but the "average Joe" isn't practiced in filibustering, changing topics, and sticking to talking points, so the stupid arguments just hang out there waiting to be blown up by Alan.
Another thing. About ten years ago our parish pro-life group organized a public debate regarding abortion with Peter Kreeft. My wife spent days trying to find anyone of any kind of fame to debate. Finally we found an obscure Marxist associate professor (at BC!) to volunteer.
These jerks are afraid to debate. Like rats, they're afraid of the light. If they won't go on, then Alan can dismember Joe "pro-abortion" Fool.
