This beating on Bannon for his stutter interrupting is clueless. Don't you people know how the 21st Century is different?? Once upon a time there were low latency satellites, green screen rooms operated by news networks that people traveled to for interviews. The interviewees wore invisible ear plugs with the producer/interviewer's voice piped in with millisecond delay.
NOW it is all OVER THE INTERNET ZOOM SHIT with misconfigured and malfunctioning noise gates, multiple second delay. Some people won't stop talking and they are NOT knowledgeable enough to realize that the interviewer (eg Bannon) IS actually talking, they just cannot hear. So they keep talking until a stutter gets through and they stop.
Bannon's technique is appropriate for this FUCKED UP technological era.
He could just as easily say, "Hold on just a minute, fren...."
"Hold on a moment fren...[silence while host waits]..." will not work.
You're assuming perfectly working (just delayed) full-duplex. No longer the case. Noise gates malfunction. Because your 'usual' Zoom user is listening to the PC's speakers -- and not through a headset -- the software is forced to go to great lengths to eliminate echoes and talkback. This means dropping sound. Bannon is trying to make interviews with quick turnaround.
IF ONLY they'd lose the video entirely and just do sound, latency might drop down to where word snippets can do a full turnaround. But the 'War Room experience' is so HD-video oriented it is exceeding practical capability of the network and CPUs.
You are 100% correct, and the techinical solutions are easily fixable [I solved these problems (circuits, hardware, cpu, software, network, signals, etc.) a few decades ago.]
