“…The intuition is as follows. First, since S wishes to extract as much as possible from her relationship with A, she credibly commits, in case A rejectsSC, to the reporting strategy that leads to the equilibrium with the lowest possible payoff to A, so as to relax (3). Such a reporting strategy is invariant with private information σ since information is soft.…”
