If you've never had a co-worker or manager interrupt you mid-sentence to breathlessly ask you a question that is literally answered by the second half of the sentence you were GOING to finish, then my friend you should go buy a lottery ticket because this happens to me daily, in every job I have ever had in the last 20 years in tech.

> If you've never had a co-worker or manager interrupt you mid-sentence

I've had plenty of people interrupt me to ask questions while I'm presenting - which I think is generally something to be encouraged.

When I've replied with "That's a very insightful question, we'll get to the answer in a few slides time" I've never had someone insist on continuing the interruption.

Exactly, this is how you do it.
