Sounds pretty naïve to me to think that anyone here, or RMP, or any
professional philosopher could somehow arm you with "a  devastating
critique  or clever retort" that would somehow unsettle a skilled
professional philosopher of metaphysics during a Q&A session.

I'm sure we could arm you with something that would make you look like a
fool, but given the above question it looks like you may have that covered.

Even if you ask him a broad general question that might shed some light on
why he dismisses RMP like:

What are your thoughts about universals?

He could easily just dismiss the question as not relevant to what he is
talking about at that time. Or answer you at a technical level that is
beyond any comprehension. Or simply dismiss you with, they don't exist.
