When done correctly, misdirection can be a beautiful thing. It's like a magic trick, but instead of a wand, you use a well-timed "who, me?"
But beware, for the dark side of misdirection is a slippery slope. Before you know it, you'll be blaming the intern for your own failures and wondering why the coffee machine is always broken.
Deflecting Blame is an art form that requires patience, skill, and a strong stomach for the taste of crow.
