see a walrus isnt a fish, it arrives assuming no stakes in the argument, it is treating you as the fish, the one with stakes.
normal procedure with a walrus is to not play their game because they're trying to waste your time and energy,
but if you want to have fun with a walrus, your goal should be to reposition them to a point where they assume you're such a patsy in the situation that they can win the argument and in goes the hook, glub glub goes the fish.
now you're the walrus.
