f: With PhD students in the field of Composition, if you want to write a last minute MA essay, you have to sign this form agreeing that you understand what is entailed in order to get the degree.
h: But I do not want to sign that form. 
f: I know. And I do not want to make you sign the form.  How about if we put it this way: Hilary, I just created this new form! And I would like to have your feedback on the form as a usability test:  Does the form make sense? Is it readable? Is it clear?  Now, in order to provide me with informed feedback, you are going to have to actually read the form--
h (excitedly): --and then sign it in order to get the full experience as a user!
f: If you say so.  Seriously now.  I really do just want feedback. 
h: Where is this form? Can I read it and sign it now? 
....
h {reflectively}: Wow. Thank you for reasoning with me on my level.
