False ShameUse a false argument against your opponent, which he is able to "swallow" without much objection.
Appeals such as "Surely you know that the decision was made to..." or "Surely you have read about..." put your opponent in a state of false shame; he becomes embarrassed to say publicly that he does not know the things you are talking about.
In most cases, the victim will either nod or pretend to remember what you are talking about, thereby acknowledging your sometimes false arguments.
