That's right, you should abuse the hell out of whatever small edge you've got, so that negotiations promptly end.

Negotiations only end when someone walks away. The party with less power can't walk away.

That... isn't how any of this works. The reason you're negotiating in the first place is because each side is holding chips. If the weaker side had to give in to the stronger's every demand, it would not be called negotiation.
