You Interrogate Suspects: You Interview Witnesses



However, if you ask the question, then interrupt the answer, that is obstructive.


And "How do you know" is argumentative at best. A throwback to the Golden-Plated days of daytime talk show television

Some people ask questions seeking information.
Other people ask questions so they can interrupt, contradict, argue, & pretend they're right.

Witness the news style infotainment programmes. These, one step above those golden-plated days of daytime talk show television. The ones where people interrupt others and say, "please allow me to finish." And notice: the ones who say, "please let me finish," never do.

You give trivial complaints to rookies & interns. That is too obvious to anyone involved in serious issues. One successful bit of litigation arose from the fact that the first attorney I spoke to had worn a suit without a jacket and had a crease in his collar. I guessed that they treated the issue as trivial. But when they were served, the lawyers from two top law firms were engaged.

On "The Talk", Dr. Phil was asked "how can you tell if someone is lying. He said, because they will say, "To tell you the truth" or "to be completely honest...." But I disagree. That only means the person is irritated by the person who thinks he's going to get the answer he wants by repeating the question ad lunacy [sic]

How do you know when someone is lying?  
[Redacted] Strategy is not discoverable.

To emphasise, I will quote the most eloquent of all Presidential Orators: Lyndon B. Johnson, who said, "I ain't never learned nothing talking."

SVP: Yes? No? Agree? Disagree? And, Why? I would appreciate some feedback from professionals in the field. Thank you, S.

Sincerest regards,

Slim
Box 33
Pen Argyl, PA 18072

PS. After a report to the "City Inspector" who documented
the incident, I received word of impending "repairs". That
however, was the modus operandi vis-a-vis a prior incident cited as part of their strategy. History repeats itself. Regards, Slim.
