I don't think the example illustrates that sentence. | |

| Mar 12, 2012 at 14:21 | comment | added | Mitch | Sarcastic answers would be: manipulative, sociopathic (via cornbread), or, in the other direction, rational. | |
| Mar 12, 2012 at 14:20 | comment | added | Mitch | It's somewhat misleadng to start your idea with 'practical' because that leads in quite a different direction than you intend. 'Practical' by itself has no connotations of interpersonal strategy. But 'shrewd' or 'clever' is enough. | |
