Ever do an interview for publication or broadcast? I have -- hundreds, if not thousands, of times in the IT industry. If you think JB is confrontational, try interviewing Steve Jobs or Bill Gates after you've written a piece about them. JB is an amateur by comparison. (Gates once yelled directly in my face during an interview after I asked him a question about Windows 3 but he ended up telling me that Microsoft tithed every computer maker that used its operating system, which, at the time no one knew). Interview 101 is to introduce the interview with a softball. Interview 102 is you want your subject to come at you. If your subject comes right at you like JB did, you know there's material on his mind he wants to talk about. You want him to scold you. It's the point. Interview 103 is if you backpedal but keep your point you draw your subject with you, hence more info. Axe has done hundreds of these. He knew what he was doing. It's not personal with him or JB, it's just business.
