Pardon me while I play Socrates. By that I mean, I am wondering something but I truly don't know the answer. So I will be questioning and out of that questioning may come some enlightenment. This is sincere. I know if any of you have ever been to a seminar in which the moderator is known as the "facilitator" you will look at me askance.
In those seminars, the moderator asks a question like what is the one reason people buy our widgets. You answer: Because they are cheaper. The facilitator says, "Well that's a good answer. Anyone else?" This means I don't care what you think. There is only one answer I am seeking and you trained monkeys didn't get it right. "Anyone else?" Someone else answers: "We make widgets that are unrivaled in the world." The facilitator claps his or her hands together: "Exactly." That is fake Socrates. Mine is the real thing.
