Right?

I am describing a complex topic that may be new to you. And, you may have no idea what I said. But, you understand what I am saying, right?

Maybe not? But, how would I ever know? Sure, you could always ask, but I already confirmed you knew, right?

Well, maybe not? Why? Because I created the barrier of right.

When we finish a sentence with right, we create an assumption the listener understood. Plus, we create friction for them to interject. Their potential clarification has become a contradiction. And people hate contradictions.

So, I continue to ramble on and the listener still has no idea and now no longer cares, right?

NH.
