Re: Imperius—Yeah, I’m admittedly exaggerating here, and agreed that for legal purposes the power level matters, or at least ought to. I stand corrected.
Re: bakery—The difference between behavioral manipulation via knowable mechanisms (e.g., bakery smells) and via unknown mechanisms (e.g., magic spells) seems important. It’s way easier to overcome/compensate for a known bias than an unknown one of the same strength.
Re: AFoAM—yes, agreed. The AFoaM is pretty darn close to a Fully Generalized Explanation.
