the formulation of the what question is done as follows: the pc gives an [[OVERT|overt]] in response to the [[ZERO_QUESTION|zero question]] which does not [[CLEAN|clean]] the needle of the [[INSTANT_READ|instant read]] on the [[ZERO|zero]]. The [[AUDITOR|auditor]] uses that overt to formulate his what question. Let us say the zero was "Have you ever stolen anything?" The pc says "I have stolen a car." [[TESTING|Testing]] the zero on the [[METER|meter]], the auditor says "I will [[CHECK|check]] that on the meter: Have you ever stolen anything?" (He mentions nothing about cars, Heaven forbid!) If he still gets a read, the auditor says "I will formulate a broader question," and says, to the meter, "What about stealing cars? What about stealing vehicles? What about stealing other people's [[PROPERTY|property]]?" the auditor gets the same zero question read on "What about stealing other people's property?" So he writes this down on his [[REPORT|report]]. Now as he has his question, the auditor sits up, looks at the pc and says, meaning it to be answered (but without accusation) "What about stealing other people's property?"
