In the story he doesn't know what to say. When I read it I didn't know either. I've thought about it several times over the years, and come up with several answers, none of which I truly liked.

Just now you reminded me of that story, and it finally hit me. If I were to be in that situation, and she said "What do you think you know now?" My answer would be "I know enough not to put my foot in that one!"
