That is very much my inclination.  all the PCs doing this had at least 
average Mien in this case.  But I have seen a really Glib fellow do this 
with a "Ugly as Sin and mean as a Rattler" PC with 6d Mien (not bad) and 0 
Persuade.  His reasoning was he was Roleplaying well therefore should not 
*have* to degrade the conversation to die rolls.  I was not running that game.
