I think the whole reason "first tell them how they are right, then how they are wrong" works is that most people are irrational.

Wrong, they rationally prefer hedonic feeling.

How did you feel about this post? ;-)

Valid logic, different premises.

Good point! What you say looks logical. In my opinion though, the fact that they find first telling them how they're right as a prerequisite to be told how they're wrong hedonic, is irrational :).

(So tell me, have I mastered it now? ;) )
