To your last point I think it could be read as him"mansplaining" it to her. He could also just be passionate about the topic and excited to talk about it. If it happened in any case

I don't see topics covering "mansplaining" as rage bait. It does indeed happen and calling attention to it is fair game. My best guess is that he is clearly passionate about it (I mean, honestly, that should be a given) but I'm assuming he reached the point where it'd be embarrassing if she let him know he just tried to explain her own training to her.

Agreed but I think that's what they were referring to when talking about rage hair bait
