One of Evans' favourite debate tactics is to tweet something brimming with subtext, then when someone calls him out on it, takes a literal approach to what he said. It's infuriating.

You summed up exactly what I thought it in my head about his Tweets, he is positively juvenile.
Evans has been called out for his idiotic behavior before[0]. From what I can tell, his only contribution to a discussion is to say the most banal things (ex: there will be 5B smartphone users in 2020) in a way that makes them sounds original.

That buzzer would be more meaningful if any of those tweets were linked or dated.
I hadn't seen this, thanks for sharing.
