The reason this
works is that it's a lot of work to find a good candidate in most non-trivial fields, and once one is found, it's deeply in the employers interest not to scare them away rather than saving a little money - they're anchored on "hire".https://twitter.com/mseebach/status/1315241631071825923?s=19 …
I'm sassy so I like to try it because bad negotiators often let slip the range afterwards to dunk on you. Then if I really want, I can turn it into the sentiment you've quoted here. I'll say "I've said a silly number because we're actually here to talk about how I add value...."

That's fair, but you need to be fairly certain what's silly. Someone I know decided to ask 60 (thinking it's high, current 45), but tried that line and got "well, we're thinking 80, but could probably do 90 for the right fit".

And of course also being comfortable being sassy, that's not easy to fake. The magic line works fine without sass.
