This is a tactic that O-Chul is demonstrated as being very good with. In How the Paladin Got His Scar, he uses the same approach with the (at the time) Supreme Leader of the Hobgoblins, to appeal to the Supreme Leader's mindset instead of his own. Although O-Chul himself is an empathetic person, he phrased it diplomatically to get the maximum chance of connecting with Serini. Jury's still out on whether it'll work, but O-Chul is at the top of my list for negotiating with anyone. Dude's a frickin' diplomatic badass. And a regular one too.
