"Be ye as shrewd as serpents," Jesus warned the disciples. Therefore, avoid arguments and verbal traps. Keep answers to two or three words, even to the extreme of being evasive. Specimens are: "Perhaps," "A hard problem," "Yes," "No," "I do not know." Do not make statements on your own initiative--better to be silent, refer questioner to others as authorities, such as "Professor X" or "His Holiness the X."
