Neither of those is true. We need things comprehensible. And, as you say, the guy knew what he was going to be asked, and should have known beforehand what he was going to say. And in other clips of him speaking, he has a totally normal delivery.
In terms purely of his content, I did not think it was clear. As I say, some things he said were great. Some, including a central question of whether there is a historic precedent for the VP to accept an alternate slate of electors, were nearly gibberish.
In terms of his delivery, I am baffled. And, though this does not matter at all, I found it pompous and annoying.
