I think feeding off the energy from the audience is important.
Have you ever been thrown off by a question from an audience member? Rendered speechless?
Pretty much every time I presented my dissertation research. I learned to either ask for clarification, say "I need to give that more thought, before answering." or just "That's a good thought, I'll look into it.", or say "I'd love to talk about that more after the presentation."
It's generally a bad idea to try to come up with an answer on the spot, if you don't immediately know it.

That’s a great way of deflecting off the heat until you are in a more composed state of mind to ponder over the question. Kudos

These are the lessons PhD students learn the hard way.
