Back to the funsec side of things...   Deep Thought..
What if the person being questioned had a really slow processing time?

When they asked him if he understood those rights, he started processing.
It took lots of time for that answer to come out.  When "Yes" finally 
emerged, that wasn't the answer to the last question asked but the first
question in the queue.

In memory of Douglas Adams.

PS: In a similar situation, I knew of someone in a software design shop that
whenever someone asked him a question, answered "Well.." (said in a
drawn out way, like a quite version of announcing a goal at that 
soccer match)  then pause for 5 to 45 seconds as you can see him thinking
before the rest of the answer starts to come out.  It didn't really
matter what the question was, there was always a well-delay.
