• Context protects you and builds trust.
  
  • "It would be out of context if I started giving you travel tips. Or if I started giving you dating advice. Or if I started talking about gardening. Those things are out of context."

• Reasonable people change when shown the evidence.
  
  • "One of my tests of if a person is reasonable is if they change their mind when presented with new trustworthy evidence. "
