Re: Why Landmark jargon and LGAT jargon screws up our minds

One more piece of LGAT jargon:

"Smart Rat"

This was a term used by L.E., but I never had it defined to me.  I believe that this is someone who sees a couple of steps ahead of a conversation,  and so does not allow themself to be "trapped" into a certain path of logic, or into agreeing to something.

A minor example, and this is a bad example, because they try to "trap" you into more insidious types of logic:

Seminar leader:
"Would you say that you got a lot out assisting at this seminar?"

Assistant: "Yes"

Seminar leader:
"Was it more important than other things that you could have been doing with that time?"  (The trap is set)

You: (Fall into it answer):  "Oh, yes! Nothing is more important than my possibilities!"

To which seminar leader responds:

"Then I'm sure that you would love to assist in my next seminar, starting in three weeks! You just agreed that nothing was more important to you."

...or

Smart Rat answer:

"It was great, and it's a good thing I got that in now, because I'm going to be super busy the next couple of months, and there's no way I could have done it then."
