So like lets say I have an offer to get $2 million and I want $4 million so I ask for $6 million. It's just ridiculous that we have to engage in these stupid tactics when we negotiate.

Yeah not sure where shooting for the moon became the norm for opening negotiations. I see ridiculous settlement demands all the time in my line of work. The final settlement amount is always nowhere near the initial demand.
