A note of interest, about provocation, and judgement. Daniel gives him a look, but doesn't follow up. (Yet?) Might be fun to dissect who was being provocative because it was his job, and who was being judgemental. Another kind of conversational fencing match.
One thing at a time.
"When you want to interview somebody and make it real, get to the truth of why you're there, you have to get past the first answer, and the second answer, and the third. You have to redirect and argue and provoke until you get to the truth. Usually it's not because people are lying to you. They're lying to themselves, or they just don't realize they aren't going far enough. Nobody wants to say the embarrassing thing, the worst thing. You do have to talk them up to the ledge, and then get them to walk off of it. Whether it's in confession or anger."
