Cunning Omission
AirDescrição
It is said by some courtiers that the easiest way to get someone to admit something is not through blackmail or coercion, but simply by explaining the situation to them incorrectly and letting their impulse to set the record straight fill in the details. By leaving out a key element in a story or account, a courtier attempts to draw their opponent into providing it themself, thus undermining their own argument or offering up the testimony needed to prove the initial courtier’s point.
