Summary:
Jay tells us a personal story in which it says that someone had used up all the toothpaste. He then asks George about it, his response was that with "that's not the point is it, Dad?" George obviously thinks he has won but in reality Jay did, well in the end Jay got the Toothpaste. Therefore he expands his explanation to tells us about Rhetoric, " an essential skill of leadership." To simplify it, it's a way of seduction or manipulation. Getting you right through half of the argument.
What is learned from this is that you can twist a situation by making it look the other has won or seducing someone into loosing the argument.
