One of the funniest parts of the Book of Mormon, in my opinion, is when Ammon "tricks" King Lamoni to listen to him. Ammon is described as being "wise, yet harmless" and catching Lamoni "with guile."
I think this is side commentary from Mormon. Maybe it's halfway apologetic for Ammon's trickery. Maybe it's how Mormon was able to come to terms with Ammon's method for teaching Lamoni.
I sure don't have anything against this method. It's basically Ammon using Master Manipulator skills, which are skills which I often feel like I share in common with him. Basically, Ammon is using his powers for good and for awesome.
