If you want cooperative questioning you need a true cooperative goal - otherwise the process is inherently adversarial no matter how much passive aggressive cloaking is applied.

- ethbr0 6y agoIt's not passive aggressive cloaking. If a CEO can't answer a question posed by Congress, running out the clock shouldn't be a viable strategy. "Mr. Zuckerberg, I don't feel you answered my colleague's point. Let me ask again..." Why do the American people care about the next question, if the previous question wasn't answered? Which is more important, more questions or answers?
- Nasrudith 6y ago> "Mr. Zuckerberg, I don't feel you answered my colleague's point. Let me ask again..." That quote is exactly what I mean by passive aggressive cloaking actually. You won't get the answers you want if the questioning process is adversarial as it turns into "Don't talk to the police." or deposition style of being unhelpful as possible instead of trying to actually inform because of incentives.
- ethbr0 6y agoWhat part of Zuckerberg repeating Facebook's mission statement until time expires qualifies as "actually inform"? Zuckerberg isn't dumb. If he's repeating rote memorized passages, it's specifically to run the clock down.
