He didn't convince Hatch of anything. If you read the deposition I posted you will see it goes a bit further than a suggestions. Burnett and the other producer whose name I forget cast themselves as Survivor gurus having daily meetings with them to teach them survival tactics. Dirk describes in detail how the cast felt about them due to this. So a suggestion on something that would make their lives easier (Rudy has more necessary skills than Stacey) would be like getting heads-up no-limit holdem advice from Isaac Haxton.
Sorry for the poker analogy, it's early and I'm too groggy to come up with anything better.
