ummm, i think the idea was to give a "cliff's notes/ELI5" explanation of the subject

If you watched the video[0], a reporter asked a question about a political issue but prefaced his question with a sarcastic question along the lines of "I was going to ask you to explain quantum computing < chuckle, chuckle > When do think Canada's ISIS mission will ...."

When Trudeau answered the question, I think many were somewhat surprised.
