Yes ~ this precision in speech was notable in some of the people I knew from there. One of the things that struck me the most was that I would have to listen very carefully for what they would NOT say. This would frequently tell me more than what they did say.
If I tried to pin them down and question them, I would get the run-around, non-answers, redirects, be accused of being paranoid, and they always pointed out to me how messed up MY thinking was. They would then proceed to do exactly as I had suspected and feared in the first place. This is a pretty typical behavior of narcissists.
