      Even if your boss simply ignores you, the assumption is that there is a reason underneath, no? And if you need what your boss has bad enough to change your behavior, you are coerced into it, no matter if the demand was properly communicated (proposition) or not (ignoring), no?

            You seem to be having trouble with the definition coercion… I’m not going to explain anything else to you or respond to any more bad faith questions.

            Ask direct complete questions, provide a declarative statement of your own thesis, or kick rocks.

              to compel to an act or choice

              In both cases, if the person needs what the other person is witholding, he is compelled to meet their demands, no?

              Ask direct complete questions

              “Even if your boss simply ignores you, the assumption is that there is a reason underneath, no?” and “And if you need what your boss has bad enough to change your behavior, you are coerced into it, no matter if the demand was properly communicated (proposition) or not (ignoring), no?” are complete questions, in fact, they are straight up yes or no questions, the simplest of them all.

                  What do you mean burden of proof? It’s the dictionary definition. That I put literally right on top. To be compelled to act. Are you saying that in one case, you are not compelled to act, despite needing the same thing from the same party?
