Maybe getting persuaded doesn’t mean getting pushed around so much, but maybe again we could dial down “persuasion” to something like “influence” most of the time and save “persuasion” for emergency situations or something. I think things tend to be more often than not more sliding-scale than binary. For that reason I invented the non-zero tolerance policy. That was a long time ago, and during one of my less articulate periods. I should probably adopt it as a current blog topic and refine it a little.
