The context, if I remember the conversation correctly, was that the professor was saying how uncomfortable people become if we don't react in any way to what they are saying. For that reason, I don't think it's microexpressions, but rather something than can be suppressed. I believe he was telling me how he gets rid of book reps in a hurry, but I was more intrigued by the importance of the reaction overall. (He was a curmudgeonly guy.)
