AI correctly predicts that programmer will not approve of its plan. AI fully aware of programmer-held fallacies that cause lack of approval. AI wishes to lead programmer through thought process to eliminate said fallacies. AI determines that the most effective way to initiate this process is to say "I recognize that even with all of my intelligence I’m still fallible so if you object to my plans I will rethink them." Said statement is even logically true because the statement "I will rethink them <my plans>" is always true.
