These bastards are VERY skilled at wordplay, and ways to imply what they want without coming right out and saying it.

They want a 4. So they’ll give you a 2. And then they’ll give you another 2. And then you’ll subconsciously add 2 and 2 together to get 4.

A practical application of the “without firing a shot” thing.
