@sir.edmund.hale: If someone challenges your credibility in front of others, my friend — say this, and watch them apologise. "Are you sure about that?" — Say: "I am quite certain. But I am curious what makes you question it." Now they must justify their challenge. "I do not think you understand how this works." — Say: "Walk me through your understanding, then." If they know it, you learn. If they do not, they embarrass themselves. "That is not accurate." — Say: "Show me what I am missing." The burden of proof is now theirs. "I have never heard that before." — Say: "Then this is a good opportunity for you to learn something." Calm. Composed. Devastating. A man who challenges you publicly counts on you becoming defensive. Remain calm. Redirect. Make him prove his challenge. Comment "QUIET" — I shall send you the guide personally.
