Is it some sort of Jedi mind trick?

Does it work IRL?

For instance if you get pulled over for speeding do you say "Thank you so much for affirming that I was not speeding and that your radar gun did not show my car going 65mph in a 45mph zone.

Or maybe you walk up to your boss and say "Now that we know I'm getting a raise, we will talk about my promotion."

That would be sooo cool!
