his own behaviour by accusing Jeff of doing so; an elementary
blame-shifting technique to cover the fact that he was wrong in his
initial statement, but won't admit it.

Easy to spot, aren't they?

I'm sure they'll be more as the day wears on.

Bad form, etc.

The other part of this game is that if Jeff, or anyone in his
position, does not answer the PoNS, then the PoNS will claim he was
correct, as his statement was not challenged.

So Jeff, like others here, is in the situation of either giving up and
'losing', or persisting. As Jeff has clearly demonstrated, if he
choses the latter course of action, a number of (simplistic)
techniques are brought to bear against him, in order wear him down.

By refusing to be deflected, and remaining calm and polite, Jeff is
refusing to pay this game, and shows his far-superior skills. At this
point, there is only one 'winner', and it isn't the PoNS.

Bad form again.

Dave, have a look at this later statement by the PoNS:

I have never made a statement "regarding transmitters and those Acts"
because I was
aware of only one Act (singular) and referred to only that one.

Note again the equivocation here; he was 'aware of only one Act', but
carefully doesn't say which of the several extant Acts he meant. One
of them could have been relevant to his point - perhaps he was trying
to buy time to look them up and be able to justify his original claim,
or to try to deflect Jeff (which didn't work, of course).

Easy, innit!
