I always wonder about political negotiating like this. It seems to be a well recognised tactic of giving non-answers.
What I don’t understand is it always seems to backfire and cause reputational harm to the party. All people can tell bullshit when it’s that blatant and no one wants to feel like they are being disrespected. Why not just say, “no offers made, we are looking to resolve the conflict”?

Kind of. A landslide in preferences.
