Conflationary alliances- writing this quickly- I suspect that there are also conflationary alliances around the denial of «boundaries», and the conflation of «boundaries» with “boundaries”.
For example, “you crossed my boundaries” can mean:
you attempted to control me
you did something I didn’t want
E.g.: If someone wireheads you against your will, that is certainly a type-1 violation, regardless of whether it is a type-2 violation. But these violations are bad in difference senses, and I claim that type-1 violations are worse and more important than type-2 violations.
However, because there’s a ~conflationary alliance, people who merely had their preferences betrayed (type-2 violation) can say, “you crossed my boundaries!” and that sounds like the worse, type-1 violation, which would surely compel more action from the perpetrator.
(Ironically, a type-2 violation compelling action it itself an attempt to be a type-1violation, to control someone else’s behavior.)
