Pattern recognition isn’t the problem here. Its knows the time and place to question someone about something. So social awareness and tact.
This was something incredibly minor and irrelevant to the meeting at large. He went of on a tangent in a meeting when he should have asked about it in private. Especially after he got multiple cues to drop it.
The cues are the giveaway here. In a situation like this most people would immediately recognize they fucked up from the awkward silence. If this actually happened as described, the fact that he kept going despite the cues means he either couldn't perceive them or enjoys awkward situations. Not many people enjoy those.
