Two colleagues are talking in
office. One of them is attending the Office Dynamics course at NILS. They are
discussing a homework.
A: Is this a homework for the application session?
B: No this is for the fifth paper, Blame and Blame Transfer. It is due
on Thursday.
A: So I have to blame someone else for a mistake that I have made?
B: Two mistakes. You have to recall your last two mistakes or goof-ups
at work and make up an argument that puts the blame on someone else.
A: Last two mistakes? Hmm. Both will have to be mine?
B: No, let’s share. Say one mine and one yours?
A: Fair enough. Then I will develop an argument against my last goof-up,
an argument that will prove that it was somebody else’s mistake.
B: Yes. Then I will present your and my arguments in class on Thursday
and others will try to find faults in them. If nobody can refute the argument,
then it stays. Everybody will do the same and finally we will have a list of
arguments for blame-transfer that cannot be easily refuted. Finally we can
generalize them to be used in any situation.
A: That should give us a directory of methods to put blames on others.
B: Exactly.
A: Good. Good stuff.
