2. Never use the word Sorry
The word sorry actually means submission to the person asking the question. It is also an admission that you agree that you had a prior obligation that you have now dishonoured, and therefore are now sorry for. Saying sorry means you have accepted a contract, and you are now sorry you have broken it, meaning you now accept the consequences of such a breach of contract.

This would be difficult in a culture that apologizes as habit. If you don’t apologize you would be ostracized. This may only work in the English law world.

seemingly harmless tactics of mind control that are taught since childhood and don't work very well in court:
  • "yes, please"
  • "i understand"
  • "i'm sorry"
  • not responding to a question with a question
  • politely accepting all offers and titles
