But not always. Sometimes, if you play it straight and ask direct questions, you won't get straight answers, and you won't get to the truth. Instead, you'll get distortion, spin and other responses that are less than the whole truth.But sometimes you may not want to ask a certain question, because that question may tip off the other person to what you're really after, and they may use that awareness to fudge, avoid, or distort.WHAT IS MENTAL PICKPOCKETING?How do you get information-and get to the truth-without flagging what you're really after?
