Forgive me for this aside, but do you know where I can read more about trolling techniques (of the non-fishing variety)?

This classic treatise from 1831 might be a good place to start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Being_Right (for the full text, use the link to Wikisource at the bottom).
