When given a weak answer to a direct question you must always assume deception!

Blog entry posted by Andrew Lewington, May 2, 2012.

Have been reading various accounts of the Bioware question period that happened at PAX and saw the weak answer that was given when directly asked about indoctrination theory:

"illustrates how committed the fanbase is...fans will interpret it in their own way."

This makes me confident that There is some truth in the idea of indoctrination theroy. I am a firm believer in statement analysis and have a background in deception detection and interview and interrogation methodology (Not an expert). I wont get into details of what this entails but as per the above heading I detect deception. An honest person with nothing to lose when confronted with a direct question or accusation, by an interviewer/interrogator 99% of the time fires back with a strong denial and will provide a strong rational to prove innocence. Maybe indoctrination theory is legitimate and maybe is is not, but Bioware has something up their sleeve. I encourage anyone who sees this to dig deeper into Bioware statements using analysis techniques. (google it for easiest techniques). It may sooth your worries. On an additional note....as I am writing this it would be interesting to see how statement analysis techniques could be applied to the actual game itself to see if deception may be detected.
