Great example.<p>Perhaps questioning him too and him feeling he was being pushed too far broke his implicit sense of trust, feeling loss of favourability.<p>It may have been a verbal agreement.  It may have been his interpretation &#x2F; perception of a verbal agreement (warped by assumptions, or by time), or it may have been a lie.  Hard to tell.<p>A nice simple example that I&#x27;ll remember, thanks.
