I think he's right to deflect on Brookfield though. Governance of asset management is very complicated, so it's very easy to misrepresent an honest answer to an objective question. If the question is not relevant and has high potential of being used for misinformation, I think it's best to deflect. The only other option is to openly say "I could objectively answer this question with a 2 hour long explanation that you're probably not educated enough to understand" and that's not going to fly well either.
