very interesting.<p>unfortunately, it unintentionally describes what my last marriage was like. Nice to see the techniques all have a name. Not so nice to be under constant assault by people arguing in bad faith.<p>Early on in my marriage, my partner was tipsy one time and admitted to arguing any topic even if they knew they were wrong. Subsequent arguments were far worse, somehow, knowing that. which was perhaps the whole point?<p>6 months of marriage, 2.5 years of breaking up. that sums it up well.<p>I feel a lot of sympathy now for the people working to keep wikipedia on track. keep up the hard work.
