Parliamentary rules are insanely complex, most of that complexity being dedicated to resolving disagreements over what is or isn't in order for a person to do. The formalities of these organizations are almost all scripted beforehand, with the real discussions and planning happening before the meetings. You basically spend 3 hours of prep time for 1 hour of official business, in order to prevent hundreds of hours spent in lawsuits and challenges.
Of course, that's no excuse for the chair not to know the basics. "Shut the fuck up" is one of the first formalities you need to learn for a contentious body.

Yeah, that's exactly my point...And she didn't know that and had to be told what to say???
Well, the "The gentleman has not been recognized" is essentially "Dude, you're going off script, shut up, we didn't plan for this!"
But she should absolutely have known the simple things to say in order to tell him to sit down.
Exactly my point...
I'm not calling you wrong, just giving you some contextual info.
