Intention to insult

https://gyazo.com/52437f1a2d2bd4548ce5d7bd678cdbb3

Mr. A thinks he is on top.

Mr. B thinks Mr. A is below him.

Sometimes at this stage, we don't distinguish between the top and the bottom.

Mr. B speaks his mind openly and frankly.

Mr. A feels "lowered".

Here, Mr. A may claim that Mr. B had an insulting intention to put Mr. A down.

So I answer, "There was no intent."

Whether there was or was not an intent is not verifiable.

So there's no room for argument here.

Based on this exchange, Mr. B can update "I'll try not to say those things to Mr. A".

In that case, Mr. B's perception update would be "Mr. A is a person with a self-perception that is not true."

This new perception itself is also insulting from Mr. A's point of view.
