First, he gave Phil something he /knows/ calms him and helps him think.
Then, he made /one/ observation. And let Phil work it out on his own. Not many people can do that for a teenager (TRUST them to be able to do the mental work, TRUST them to be logical rather than emotional or reactive) and that is just as rare a skill in my opinion.
