I won't say that you don't have a valid point in general.

But in this situation, IMO Petersen did a fantastic job of being personable, clear, and helpful. Especially considering he was granted one sentence at a time.

If it was any less "intellectual", it'd be a interview with a fifth-grader.

Jordan Peterson analyzed the interview to greater detail in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6qBxn_hFDQ

He goes full on clinical psychologist on what he thinks happened, and also where he thinks he could have lead the interview for better. According to him, he was not dealing with Cathy Newman the person, but rather a personification of an ideology. It's very interesting to hear, also for the remainder of the interview.

Less intellectual wasn't exactly what I meant. I also thought his explanations were clear. He did flirt with provocation: "It doesn't exist" is perhaps less clear and helpful than "It doesn't exist as described", especially when gender is one of those 18 factors that contributes to variance.
