Although, it occurs to me that if you’re holding to this heuristic in all cases, this also would’ve prevented you from reading a significant chunk of benquo’s comments (which also were quoting someone they disagreed with in a potentially-hostile manner) without first making sure you had my original post fresh in your mind.
I don’t think I have it nailed down quite precisely what triggers the TAP—in practice it’s actually more like a pattern-match with things I was seeing and thinking about when I established the TAP years ago, and descriptively speaking I think the trigger condition involves my information about a narrative having been filtered through a single author. I will say that, when I later made a serious effort to sort out what happened in detail (partly written up, not yet posted), it involved a lot of switching back and forth between tabs and little to no reliance on quotations.
