Hit-and-run Question Edit Meaning

1.

Another technique used by office placebos, when in for a long presentation, the placebo early on, say in the first 5 minutes drop the initial hit-and-run question, which leads everyone (boss/presenter) to believe he's engaged ... this quick hit allows him to run, slip out, disengage for at least the next 30-45 minutes

Jackson : Boy Adam, I hope my hit-and-run question worked, I really need to slip out of the presentation ... I've got lunch plans with Sophi.

Murphy : Don't worry Jackson, I'm pretty sure it did... didn't you see how Miller took notice, he loves when someone from his team speaks up.
