I think Rogan operates more subtly. When he disagrees with a guest, he doesn't confront them. Instead he eggs them on and encourages them to dig their own grave. It's a kind of social intelligence he uses. I do agree though, he's definitely not a classic intellectual and in many ways is still a meathead. Howard Stern often uses the same tactic.
