Detailed Description: Humans make judgements relativistically. When judging weight, an object is perceived to be "heavy" or "light" relative to another object. When judging whether an individual is "wealthy" or "poor", others' wealth is considered. This may be leveraged by a social engineer by framing things either absolutely or relativistically depending on desired effect.
