I had a somewhat similar thought. I was contemplating an unusual situation where society considers manipulation acceptable and influence unacceptable—the relationship between attorneys and jurors in the adversarial legal system. Trying to subtly manipulate the jury through selective presentation of evidence or slanted wording of questions = doing your job well. Trying to influence the jury via bribery or intimidation = jury tampering.
