We knocked off the posturing and came clean and started horse trading halves for us to get the whole to what we wanted out there and came to an agreement that afternoon.There's much more to that story but the experience taught that a logical conclusion can be reached with an adversary when you deal in good faith, clearing the dust to reveal your true intentions and not try to intimidate or deceive the other.
