" He would immediately detect that it wasn't working, and he'd just drop it, like it had never mattered. " I've seen something similar. I worked with a sales guy that always seemed like he was 100% invested in what he was saying(selling?). As soon as someone called him out on what he was saying he would drop it all. Similar to dropping a box of bricks. He went from 100 to 0 and move on. His acting and ability to read people were amazing.
