"[T]his tactic" could address a broad open ended question that makes only general reference to previously specified concerns.Or, "this tactic" could address a reference to previously described concerns in response to a general open-ended question that does not recognize previously specified concerns.
Even if we presume reference to "this tactic" reveals a bias toward one or the other definition, we cannot count how many times. We cannot count the times because we cannot measure the extent to which observations and experiences in fact revealed signs of the end of a discussion.
Errors in observation can arise from bias and reactivity.
