4. What becomes apparent

when he is asked these questions is his lack of depth on the subject matter. He invariably speaks in generalities and in sweeping terms. At first I thought it was a matter of needing to get to know him better but I have come to realize that that is all there is. He really doesn't have a comprehensive, informed and nuanced command of topics outside his narrow range. And, if he doesn't have an understanding of the social issues people face, how can he come up with a reasoned solution? That is why the discussion always circles back to his predictable rant. Ironic that the question was framed to discuss blind spots. He has yet to discuss POC, minorities or women in a way that isn't tone deaf.
