They are always effective and never lose their punch. More important, they save precious time needed for productive activities. Pipping means building one's ego by manipulating with words rather than by producing genuine values. Pipping is done to make a loser appear superior to and more moral than the achievements or businesses being attacked. Pips reject any response that places their distorted fragments back into context.
Pips refuse to understand the full context of the values they are attacking.
They are not interested in values, honesty, accuracy, answers, explanations, or learning. They are only interested in the level of ego enhancement they can conjure up through spurious attacks on values. Thus, once pipping is detected, further communication or argument is worthless and should cease so no more irreplaceable time is wasted. A principled template such as this becomes an effective response. The attacking pip will then stand alone, recognized as someone seeking unearned importance.
