Where a specific action is the obvious and inevitable consequence of a person's act, and where [he/she] deliberately does that act, you may readily conclude that [he/she] did that act with the intention of achieving that specific action.

Does he mean what he says when he floats ideas into the fray? And what exactly does he mean when he says what he says in this way? If you took him at his word carte blanc, you were the fool. Yet he succeeds because he comes to believe himself in what he said, making him the ultimate fool's fool (as well as the ultimate salesman).

Listen to poem:
I read your lips, not fooled by the disguise between the lines. Intent was actual in what was actioned, not faked in lines of lies about beliefs. Nor of being an innocent, misled by fools. Which fool is kidding whom?
