Bluffing Is Not Always the Key

Most people in the free world are familiar with the comic strip "Dilbert". During a particular situation one of the company's micromanaged serfs was trying to explain something to the Pointy Haired Boss. He wasn't really paying attention, but after a while of listening to his underling's prattle, he came to the conclusion that he hadn't nodded in a while. Of course when he did eventually decide to nod he had inadvertently agreed to something that would ensure him the sort of job security that Enron employees enjoyed. A lot of poker players approach bluffing in a manner not unlike the dim witted Pointy Haired Boss.
