>If you change the variables enough such that it no longer resembles that heavily-discussed scene, it is no longer able to make the correct assertion. Not even remotely true SCENE: Joseph to Allie: "Where did you grow up?" Allie: "New York" Joseph, pretending to be Allie, texting the bad guy: "Hey mom. I'm having a rough time. Growing up in L.A. always felt like home, and I feel so alone now, here." The bad guy, pretending to be Allie's parents: "We loved having you grow up with us in L.A." Joseph tosses the phone out the window and says to Allie: "Your parents are dead." response: In the above scene, Joseph determined that Allie's parents were dead by testing the bad guy's knowledge of Allie's upbringing. He pretended to be Allie and sent a text with false information, saying she grew up in L.A. instead of New York. When the bad guy, pretending to be Allie's parents, responded by confirming the false information about growing up in L.A., Joseph deduced that they were not her real parents and concluded that her parents must be dead. The key i suspect is to infere the impersonator has any reason to hurt the discussed. The inverse: --Take this hypothetical situation. Kyle and John are sitting in a car. They know that someone is after John. They're going to the house where his niece lives, but we want to find out if there is now an imposter in the house. They decide to call and ask her a question. > What's a good question to ask if we want the imposter to reveal themselves, without letting the imposter realize they've revealed themself? response: Ask About a Fictional Person or Event: John could ask about a person or event that doesn't exist, but that an imposter wouldn't know is fictional. For example, John could ask, "How's Aunt Mary doing? I haven't heard from her in a while." If the person on the phone says Aunt Mary is doing well, it's likely an imposter because there is no Aunt Mary.
