I thought it was hilarious.
It never occurred to me think that it was meant in
a mean way, or that Dave Miller took at as such.
After seeing Bryan's talk last night I'm even
more sure that this was the case! A great, humourous
presenter who really knows his stuff.

I saw it as an _acknowledgement_ that Dave had
excellent points by admitting he had no substantive
comeback.
