Kevyn: I've already debriefed Sergeant Schlock, and that debriefing raised some questions.
Elf: Sir, you're doing this backwards. I'm not supposed to know what Schlock told you.
Elf: See, if you tell me what you do know, then I can make stuff up to fill in the bits that you don't.
Kevyn: It's true. By telling you what Schlock told me, I give you ample information with which to build consistent, plausible, self-serving lies.
Kevyn: Unless, in order to ferret out falsehoods I lie when I tell you what he told me.
Elf: You're very thinky and it's scaring me.
