Wayne played this game, as have a number of fly-by-nighters and I believe two or three of Richard's alter egos.<BR/><BR/>The game is to come in talking about how "I just want to understand..." and "I'm not partisan, but..." and "while I agree with most of what you say..." and lead-ins of that kind. This is arguing in bad faith because the person is trying to gain a rhetorical advantage by presenting himself as neutral, while in fact he is partisan. <BR/><BR/>Why do this? To try to find admissions or openings with which to bring down the opposing argument. When you're arguing with someone who has many assumptions in common with you, you take far more liberty in the way you speak. When you're arguing with someone who is generally opposed to you, you speak with more care and couch your language precisely so that it can't be easily misused against you.<BR/><BR/>A good example of this is the movie Expelled, where they go to scientists as neutral parties, and then quote-mine what they say to attempt to make an opposite argument. Despicable, but to those of a sympathetic view, very persuasive.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, this is a little off-topic but it's a another common form of arguing in bad faith that hasn't been raised here yet. I figured a long-winded, pedantic description of it would probably be most interesting to everyone else.<BR/><BR/>*crickets*<BR/><BR/>Fine.
