The idea
Most options can be dismissed on a single word. An option claiming the speaker is sarcastic fails if no line is sarcastic. An option claiming a shift fails if the tone is level. Dismissal is faster and more reliable than positive selection.
In practice
Dismiss on one wrong word.
Where people slip
Selecting first invites confirmation.
