He keeps on talking.. you keep replying or commenting.. and so on. No visible delay between talking, sometimes even overlap would occur.
The delay (~two sec) is expected if you ask him something specific and he replays to your request. But the presence of the delay depends on context of the discussion.. Noone is really waiting for the answer to arrive, to continue with talking. Otherwise, this would have been one very in-efficient discussion.
I am very slow with keypad... So when I "talk" to someone on, say, Yahoo messenger, there is a considerable delay in individual questions/replies.. but my reply is applicable to the before-previous message from my correspondent, and vice versa.

Hi Bojan thank you for your input. I am well aware of context and it is the context thing that will demonstrate the absence of delay rather than it being an illusion.
If you take the time to view the footage there are a number of examples of what I suggest which clearly show a no delay response.... I think what I point out is obvious if you take the time to look and listen ... I have been very careful not to go off half cocked and offer my observation which anyone can make ...
As I said I dont believe anything (you must know this of me by now) but in this case I am reasonably confident that my observation is reasonable... if you have the time take a look and time the delays...and take many samples...I have not seized on one example and am not offering one for folk to look at...if one is curious one can find examples and think upon it in the context of the distance transmissions had to travel...
I am not suggesting a hoax but something seems out of wack ...nothing more.
Time the delay, think of the context, take many samples and form your personal view.
