Fair point. Maybe if I knew you personally I would take you to be the kind of person that doesn’t need such careful communication, and hence I would not act in that way. But even besides that, one could make the point that your wondering about my communication style is still a better outcome than somebody else being put into an uncomfortable situation against their will.
I should also note I generally have less confidence in my proposed mitigation strategies than in the phenomena themselves.
I kind of agree. And I probably do like a more confrontational approach than you do. (A tangent. I have deliberately put strangers into situations that were really uncomfortable for everybody, within the boundaries of 1) law and 2) common sense. Nobody was there for honest discourse. I was there for the thrill, they were there for the money. It was interesting, though, how we all still respected some lines in the sand without having to name them, like “give a warning for the first offence” or “go for the camera and not for the eyes”.)
