oes to prove that witnesses merely parrot what they are taught and when these magical little phrases don't produce the expected
result--total compliance--
I've just 2/3 of a bottle of bubbly, but I still think your post is an oversimplification. I had a dub here recentlty (a trademan who knew nothing of my 10 yr history with the dubs) and my observation was that it's more complicated than first meets the eye. Their parroting is intricate and in someways almost clever. It does require compliance to a large degree, though they carry on just as well without it, and ignore protests to the contrary. It's quite well interwoven and is designed to withhold problem questioners. My thoughts are - don't sell it short, as it's got 5 - 6 mil on the hop and they are'nt all morons. I think we need to understand more of the mechanism of their programming and not to underestimate them
