Yes.  There was enough time for Max to counter Moreno quickly and 
efficiently and also show fairmindedness when Moreno said something 
accurate (which was just a few times). Max clearly showed more accuracy and 
effort to present facts accurately while Moreno looped on words that were 
demeaning and a bit innate.

Hahaha!  Leave it to you Damien to notice such things -:)
