I didn't think the question is unclear or complicated in the slightest.

Philp is a nerd and is clearly un-coachable from a media perspective. This doesn't make him a bad person but they probably shouldn't be drawing attention to this by sticking him on shows where he has to answer questions that aren't about his brief.

The fact that you can't admit he looks a bit silly is pretty mad, the audience reaction makes it pretty clear that the majority in there understood perfectly well what the question meant first time around.
