- Title

- Abstract
The late American deception scholar Barton Whaley completed an unpublished manuscript in 1980 that explored the influence of unexpected players in deception and information warfare. This relatively unknown Whaley typology of misperception provides a conceptual framework for considering how the introduction of unexpected players into difficult cultural environments, such as Islamic boarding school communities, can make friendly influencers appear more authentic. This ethnography of communication case study suggests that pairing an Other with a native influencer, however counterintuitive, influences audiences to form more authentic impressions of native influencers because the Other is so different.
