Depending on which way benefits them the most, of course. People are going to be people. What I can't figure out is why people think that pretty speeches mean the person believes what they are saying. As a rule, the better a person sounds, the more eloquent and persuasive you sound, the more I distrust you. In business, I avoid them if possible. In my personal life, I avoid them altogether. It comes back to the "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" thing. Or as my favorite Star Trek DS9 quote goes "48th Rule of Acquisition: The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife".
