Probably because he talks like a robot.

I don't think that's his fault really. Keep in mind a few things (and those that have asked questions before will understand this):
Every person asking a question is standing there perhaps for the first time, with a microphone in front them, a very large TV camera in front of them and very bright lights shining on them. Then, add to it that as you talk, you can hear yourself echoing through the hall. If you wait for that echo to fade, you end up talking much slower than you normally would. It's a bit disconcerting to say the least for anyone who isn't used to that. Getting up in front of thousands of people to ask a question is unnerving for many people given those circumstances. It's not easy and I applaud anyone who gets up and asks an informed question of the panelists under such conditions.
Just really quick, knowing both Chris and Alex, I can say they were genuine that they would fix the issue. Perhaps their personalities game off as glib, but they are two of the nicest and most genuine people.
