I am not trying to argue with you or change your mind, either. What I am telling you is that, if you have irrational feelings, I understand them, and support the expression and protection of them... But if you say you do not, I am going to trust you to be telling the truth.

[But, even if he's trying to be supportive, and even if he's recovering some of his emotional expression after the initial shock of the situation, he doesn't really have the bandwidth to explain himself much more carefully than that.]
