dont do that on purpose.
its like setting them up for failure.
just LET it happen, and then recognize that it is going down.
then peep the response/reaction to said situation.

not that you were saying you would do it on purpose......but sometimes i wonder.........if i would'nt put it past you. :-)

Words to ponder over............

3.7 He it is Who has >sent down to thee the Book: In it are verses basic or fundamental (of established, clear meaning); they are the foundation of the Book: others are not entirely clear. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is not clear, seeking discord, and searching for hidden meanings in it, but no one knows its interpretation except Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord:" and none will grasp the Message except men of understanding.
