again, this all to easily makes sense.
Here, my language and tone is that of a superior observer, this tone serves as a danger to his persona.
I am endangering the veil he covers himself with, and he realizes this.
He thus attempts to, once again, engage my conversation and attention down to an equal with the persona.
If he can successfully do this, he makes the persona again appear to be more of a believable personality.
If I argue with him as an equal, his persona looks like his real personality. It would appear that i am having a conversation with another person, while in reality it is simply an invented persona designed to distract from his underlying personality.
Basically, his true self understands what I am saying perfectly.
His persona is fighting for a method of maintaining the illusion.
