I have sat through depositions like that. The witness had obviously been coached to stonewall to the maximum extent possible.

The last deposition I sat through kind of tried my patience. When the lawyer for the "other" side asked the same question in a different way for the umpteenth time I flat out told he could ask me that question anyway he wanted and the answer would be the same, I may have been a little curt because the US Attorney sitting on my side of the able suggested we take a break. ;)

I think the lawyer asking the question could have approached the issue a little better to get around that.  "What machine do you use to copy legal documents?" might be a follow up. 

That said, wouldn't this sort of stonewalling be looked on with disfavor by judges later on?
