Did that exchange actually happen?
If so, why isn’t that the end of all this?
>> "Ford had never heard of the counseling that Mitchell mentioned."
That was perhaps the closest to checkmate I saw all hearing. Brilliant.
Mitchell: "Hey, PhD in Psychology who's written papers on Children's Trauma, have you ever heard of a Cognitive Interview, which is the industry standard backed by experts, for investigating trauma?"
Ford: "Uh, no."
Mitchell: "Hey, you might want to learn about that, being in your field of expertise, after all. That might have been a better option than getting an attorney, a polygraph, and coming here."
Ford: (uncomfortable silence)Did that exchange actually happen? If so, why isnt that the end of all this?
Well, I exaggerated the language, but that was the jist.
