You didn't even talk about correcting mistakes but about calling out bullshit.

In NLP and hypnosis jargon there the concept of pacing and leading.

In most direct interaction it's useful to adopt the frame of the person you are dealing with first. That creates rapport that you can then use to lead the person where you want them to go.

I have no attachment to the frame in which I'm operating. That allows me to be conscious about the frame I'm holding. It's just a map. The map isn't the territory.

Rationality is about winning and not about signaling something by wearing the right frame that looks cool to fellow rationalists.
