@whitequark Yes, and that's one of my primary problems with the typical advice of "don't obey in advance" (often from the same folks who tell you to pick your battles, but I digress).

Given that, my point is twofold: (1) there's a meaningful difference *for most people* between "my tech won't allow me to do this at all" and "I can do this, but there's a nonzero chance people with guns will show up," and (2) recognizing where we have preemptively obeyed is still a useful analysis, if incomplete.
