These readings are observational: the transcript shows whether the question was answered directly, whatever the reason. It is an AI reading of a public exchange, never a claim about intent, and the tape is one tap away on every row. full disclaimer →
Every one of the 391 people on the record is accounted for: 114 carry a full rate (8 or more assessed questions on raw tape), 160 more have their questions counted (24 of them with at least one not answered directly; too few raw questions for a fair percentage, edited feed included), and the remaining 117 never took a direct question in any tape we hold: compilations, panels and cameo appearances leave nothing to assess.

Percentages come from raw unedited recordings only: produced podcast audio has tangents and stumbles cut in the edit, which moves the speaker up by about 12 percentile points. The small-sample counts include the produced feed. This is a reading of a transcript. It is not an accusation of dishonesty, and there are many good reasons not to answer a question directly (confidential numbers, unreleased products, someone else's news to break).
