This hypothesis is testable. Unless you’re a trained liar, your voice should be measurably different when you’re explaining the obvious fact that .002 ==.00002 and when you’re claiming that .002=.00002 while your internal monologue is going “shit, shit, he’s right, isn’t he? We really fucked this one up, we’re going to lose thousands, and they’re going to blame me.” We have audio, so someone trained in such analysis should be able to give us an answer.
