I would ask him how it is that mach tuck could be a risk on a plane that doesn't even go half the speed of sound (.48). Shouldn't it be obvious to an airline pilot that no local flow over any surface of an airplane that goes so slow will get anywhere near supersonic? (Prop tips excepted.)

Ask him to define Mmo.
