For me, that incident had a mix of causes:

- Question being not handled correctly by RMS.

- People pointing it out too late.

- Organizers not asking which language the audience understands.

And... My, that video is still on-line??? That's a shame for three
people:

- The uploader, because RMS asked him not to record/upload it.

- RMS, although we can't really blame him, everyone has days of
  overwork. Besides, he seems to be one of the few free/libre software
  speakers that travels around giving speeches nowadays, this is
  probably why he is now suggesting people to become free/libre software
  speakers --- for me, I would go further and also suggest that such
  speakers try to pass our ideas correctly.

- Free/libre software activists, because thanks to this video, people
  who don't know a free/libre software activist with which they can
  clarify things will probably assume bad things about RMS. Some people
  do know a free/libre software activist they can talk to --- or are in
  some group with such goal ---, and in these cases we can still explain
  things.
