bring desired results because
many factors influence the
outcome. - Sometimes, a good speaker may
fail to get the results he wants; a
poor speaker may win favorable

good results not because of his
speech but because of popularity,
or because he has made promises
of reward to those who would buy
his products or espouse his cause. - Not all who tell the truth are
believed to be sound
speakers. - Not all who sound truthful and
sincere tell the truth although
