There, these are indeed the means for swiftly defeating inferiors; that is to say: one should overcome one lacking in learning by extensive recitation of aphorisms; one lacking in specialized knowledge, by speech containing difficult words; one lacking in retention of speech, by complex sentences crowded with disjointed, prolonged strings of aphorisms; one lacking in presence of mind, by ambiguous speech that conveys multiple meanings; one lacking in power of speech, by interrupting a half-spoken sentence; one lacking clarity, by humiliation; one prone to anger, by exhaustion; the timid, by intimidation; and the inattentive, by strict restriction.
