Just a random thing:
Why is Manipulate and Sleuth the same skill?
Do you know the old TV show Columbo? He’s a master homicide detective because he can: (1) get into people’s heads, (2) understand them to manipulate them, but (3) also figure how they commited the murder because he’s inside their head. Empathy & Read Intent are in-the-moment gut read of someone, where Manipulate & Sleuth are calculated. Columbo is good at both in YARNS.
