Kunstgriff 10

Wenn man merkt, daß der Gegner die Fragen, deren Bejahung für unsern Satz zu brauchen wäre, absichtlich verneint, so muß man das Gegenteil des zu gebrauchenden Satzes fragen, als wollte man das bejaht wissen, oder wenigstens ihm beides zur Wahl vorlegen, so daß er nicht merkt, welchen Satz man bejaht haben will.

 

Stratagem X

If you observe that your opponent designedly returns a negative answer to the questions which, for the sake of your proposition, you want him to answer in the affirmative, you must ask the converse of the proposition, as though it were that which you were anxious to see affirmed; or, at any rate, you may give him his choice of both, so that he may not perceive which of them you are asking him to affirm.
