Precisely the same technique as used by Be-Hit. So no, they don't have a clue in that department -
they are handwringers. It would have been better to get someone from the Slower Speeds Initiative,
they at least know how to rebut ABD's "lonely factoid" (c) Howard, as here:

I think she landed her punches. Even if her method doesn't appeal to everyone it will appeal to
many. Not everyone appearing on 'Today' needs to be a gladiator and slay their opponent. Humphries
and Naughtie provide enough of that sort of entertainment for my morning.
