Mark, when it’s do or die and you’ve got 90 seconds, I think you gotta let the guy get the answer out and then decide the degree of conviction. It’s not easy to have 10 things to say, have time to say 3 of them, do that mental calculation and look like you’re not doing it — all the while giving a coherent answer. I must say, having gotten my bell rung any number of times by impatient judges, I admire not just Rudy but all these guys for their ability to give coherent answers to these questions under a lot more pressure than I ever knew.
