Now, now. No point jumping all the way to that extreme from a dead start. It's not as though the candidates are currently demonstrating themselves to be slow learners -- nobody is trying to hold them to a standard of "please answer the damn question".

It would be like beating a dog for getting up on the couch, when you've never previously shown any sign that you minded.
