The reluctant conclusion: Act as if you reached your conclusion only because of its overwhelming rightness.
The personal sacrifice: Claim that the choice will help your audience more than it will help you; even better, maintain that you’ll actually suffer from the decision.

This is what you learn in chapter 8. At first i didn't understand it but i think i get it more now that I've reread it. Dubitatio is almost like doubting yourself slightly to get them to let down their guard. i believe its like reverse psychology. The personal sacrifice is when you say something like " I may not be able to get a cookie but as long as you all get one, i dont care."
