The "innocent lie" trick
The essence of the reception - in the imperceptible introduction of some information you have voiced words that do not guarantee its authenticity. Words such as: "seems", "seems", "almost". The emphasis is not on these words. On the contrary, they are said as if in passing.
For example, they say to the person: "Your boss seems to agree. He hears "agrees," and this is important information to him. The word "seems" is pronounced without emphasis on it.
The point of the technique is to deliberately deceive your opponent without fear of being guilty. And even if someone wants to catch you in this deception, you always have an excuse: "I did not say, I said" Seems.
