That does seem like a rational quote material:) and makes Jedi style negotiations so strawman... I do wonder if such specialists have advantages/disadvantages compared to your regular civilian (as I have no idea about army men except 'they train') when they are forced beyond Yellow. I mean, being a negotiator doesn't protect you from natural disasters, etc. - does their training kick in (at least the feeling of if you fail, it's all your fault)?
