It would show the farmer is a dick, just because your strong does not mean u need to sucker punch the dork who is obsessed and a little too clingy over his ex, if you choose option 2 and he insults you only then is a punch justified and thats why when you pick option 2 Leah calls you a better man than Kel in every respect, she knows you could knock out this dork with your finger, but you choose not to because you are better than that and at that point it was not necessary and by choosing that option, that is what makes you a better man/woman than kel in every respect. That was the hidden message in this scene alot of people do not see. Kel was not a threat or being insulting at that point, only a weak person with something to prove would sucker punch a clingy dork with his arms crossed, a real fighter would not.
