It seems ironic that even ancient philosophers, as Chapter 2 suggests, feigned ignorance to stimulate others to articulate and defend their ideas. The strategy was also a manipulation tactic. It was used to avoid accountability, confuse the other party, or gain the upper hand in negotiation.

In the present day, the strategy of feigning ignorance is not only still in use but can also be a weapon of harm, a tool to manipulate and deceive.

The book is small, but that's not a bad thing. We are seeing authors skip the fluff and get straight to the meat more and more, and Jones does exactly that! This book is packed with interesting points that will bring new ideas to your perspective.
