 i saw this phenomenon twice at hopeconf2016, after dr stallman's
talk.  two people - i had to stand next to one of them as i was next
in line for questions - whilst he shouted into the microphone at dr
stallman, to accuse him of hypocrisy... hypocrisy of what, the guy
didn't say... and it didn't matter: it allowed this guy the
opportunity to dismiss with prejudice everything he'd heard, thus
allowing him to return to the comfort of the compromises that he
clearly didn't like being made aware that he'd made without realising
it.

 why exactly this guy sat through an *entire 1hr30m talk* instead of
walking out half way through it in disgust (as opposed to sitting
still for 1hr30, getting up, shouting at dr stallman and *then*
walking out in disgust)... that will have to remain a hilarious
paradoxical mystery.
