A good psychological coercion technique to make someone doubt and second-guess themselves.

In international political language it’s called plausible deniability … they want to give advice direction support or even supplies to guide and show you how to do something and even point you the way, but if you get caught or get in trouble … they throw up their hands “I don’t know this guy, never heard of him and what he did was terrible, what’s wrong with people that they’re driven to do these things?”

I do the same.

“Here’s my thoughts. But since the consequences of your decisions are yours, make sure you want to listen to me.”

Now I feel like I should rewatch that show. It has been some time.
