I have been involved in a deposition where the opposing attorney was hostile. We were having a discussion about a water pressure hydraulic formula.  When I shared the formula with him he appeared to be a little perturbed. Rather than sharing the formula, to make it simple the conversation went like this.

Attorney: So, Paul you say that 5 + 4 = 9.

Me: Yes.

Attorney: OK, then how much is 6 + 3?

Me: Same answer 9.

Attorney: OK, then how much is 7 + 2?

Me: Same answer 9.

This went on for several minutes. I finally let him know that he could ask me the same question in many different ways however, the  answer will still be the same. We then went on to a different topic.
