      It even works, it makes the other person slightly uncomfortable with what they just said and often they will try to justify their words with more information. Only works against obvlivious people who have their guard down tho.

        Nah, specifically just repeating the last word/bits of their last sentence vs asking a full question. It’s about when the other person is on guard against you, if they want to tell you everything anyway I can’t see it make a difference either.
