Comic #5183

1 Eleven: If we know there’s a lava trap and three doors with pit traps behind them, then we can avoid them, right?
2 Dustin: You’d think. The three pits are to lull us into a sense of complacency, so by the third we expect it and pass it harmlessly.
3 Dustin: But the correct passage onwards is at the bottom of the third pit! Reverse psychology.
4 Eleven: That’s actually pretty clever.
4 Dustin: Wait until we get to the reverse reverse reverse psychology.

Reverse psychology is of course well known.

And even Garfield knows reverse reverse psychology.

Adding more reverses makes it cooler, but runs the risk of simply confusing the person you're trying to psyche and the whole thing becomes a coin toss.
