I survived my first Socratic exchange. Thankfully I knew it was coming and I was prepared. I had to ask him to repeat a question once and I flat out said "I don't know" when the creative juices stopped flowing on something he had asked me, but I'd say it went pretty well. No ridiculing on his part, no cardiac arrests on mine.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it was fun, but it was somewhat exhilarating and challenging and I'm not totally dreading doing it again.
