@pyrephox The main issue I have with that writeup is the 'get people to cooperate' line. (Irony points!)

All examples of things someone may be trying to 'get people to cooperate' with:

  • come with me down this dark alley
  • don't talk to the police
  • torture your grandmother to death
  • pick up the tab for dinner
  • cheat on your spouse
  • press the shiny candy-like red detonator button on that suicide vest
  • swing a kitten around by its tail and throw it against a wall
  • hide this contraband in your house
  • give them all the money you have on you
  • murder a stranger
  • buy them coffee

...and I think we can all reasonably agree these asks are not all equal within any sensible system, and not even equal from one character to the next within that system.
