What happened at yesterday's Congressional hearings on banning crypto?

"Multiple times during the hearings Director Comey admitted that he had no idea how to accomplish his goal of getting access to user data in actual practice, even going so far as to say “Don't listen to me if I suggest a technical solution.” Instead, he insisted that he needs a way to get at encrypted data, and that he didn't care what method companies used to provide that access. He also said (as he has before) that he doesn't think providing that access will require a backdoor." Getting access to encrypted data without the password is by definition a back door. And I am quite sure that they think computer security experts are just being obstinate.
