What you say is very true, but you're still missing the definition of a negotiation. The example you gave isn't negotiation. This is: "Give me a million USD, and I will smile!" - "No. That's unreasonable, I'll give you 100,000, and you'll dance each time you see me.". "Make it 300,000,and I'll fake that I like you." ...etc Negotiating goes both ways.
