Original Advice

DONT: Ask loaded questions you don't want answered.

Stop Fishing With Barbed Hooks

Face it: you haven’t been asking, you’ve been prosecuting. You frame questions like cross-exams, seeking confirmation, not clarity. “Are you even listening?” already convicts them. These barbed prompts punish honesty and reward performance. They turn breakfast into a deposition, texts into evidence. If you can’t carry the answer, don’t pull the trigger. Curiosity doesn’t need traps. Control does.

You script answers to protect order. Messy truth threatens your spreadsheet heart, so you engineer outcomes with insinuation. It backfires. People dodge, you collect noise, then call it proof. Precision demands clean inputs. Ask cleanly, get clean data. Ambushes breed silence, sarcasm, compliance. None of that equals intimacy. If you crave accuracy, remove the bait. Name what you want without the quiz.
