1. They ate their own bait.

Strauss’s idea of hidden meaning, Shulsky
and Schmitt added, "alerts one to the
possibility that political life may be closely
linked to deception. Indeed, it suggests that
deception is the norm in political life, and
the hope, to say nothing of the expectation,
of establishing a politics that can dispense
with it is the exception."
