There is but you gotta think on your feet as it were and even then you don’t always succeed. When I was last hospitalized I knew my silicone laces were psych safe but I didn’t bother trying to explain it to the employee; I just asked if they could take them out. They poked at them for a few seconds before realizing and I got to wear my own shoes for the rest of my stay. You gotta give people juuust enough info to sneak the realization in there and it’s a suuuper hard (and moving) target to hit.
I was a pretty big believer in inception approach. If they think it is their idea they will be on board.
Now I think people only want to learn/believe things they see from their own personal bubble of “trusted source(s)”. Anything else can’t be correct or I’d have heard about it already.
It’s pretty normal.
Maybe there’s a way to present the strange idea as gently and sweetly as possible, to avoid triggering their rejection reflex.

Gentle as lambs and subtle as serpents, as they say.
I like your theory.

Yeah “it came from me or my people” means that it is harmless.
(Flip that assumption and you have the plot for half of all horror movies)
