Similar problem -- I have a systematizing mind where I want to trace out the implications of whatever claims someone is making, but I was, for a long time, really bad at learning the filters you&#x27;re supposed to apply.  So I end up saying things like:<p>- &quot;So logic doesn&#x27;t apply to this topic, then?&quot;<p>- &quot;Right, but I have to adjust for the fact that you have a strong incentive to say things like that.&quot;<p>It would feel like neutral spelling out of the facts, and I thought I was being helpful ... but naturally, it doesn&#x27;t get taken that way and you have to be careful for how it comes across.
