Socratic Irony

Una estrategia retórica en la que un orador flaquea la ignorancia o juega tonto para exponer los defectos lógicos, las contradicciones o la ignorancia de un oponente. Al adoptar una postura de falsa humildad, el orador alienta a los demás a compartir sus ideas, en última instancia los lleva a descubrir sus propios malentendidos.

A rhetorical strategy where a speaker feigns ignorance or plays dumb to expose the logical flaws, contradictions, or ignorance of an opponent. By adopting a posture of false humility, the speaker encourages others to share their ideas, ultimately leading them to discover their own misunderstandings.

“Joe was wound real tight and was always looking for a fight always thought he was right, Rita didn't operate that way being right wasn't the objective a better understanding was. Rather than geting angry when Joe fumbled thru topics about she was an expertise, she adopted a strategy of socratic irony, less friction when he came to a conclusion 'on his own'”
