In cases where convincing is >>> costly to complying to the request it’s good form to comply
This is about the most untrue and harmful thing I’ve seen written out in a while. Alice merely making a request does not obligate Bob to comply just because Bob complying is much easier than Alice convincing Bob to comply. Just no, you don’t wield that sort of power.
You’re generalizing to the point of absurdity, WAY outside the scope of the object-level point being discussed. Also ‘is good form’ is VERY far short of ‘obligated’.
Someone requested input on their idea and I recommended some reading because the idea is pretty stakes-y / hard to do well, and now you’re holding me liable for your maliciously broad read of a subthread and accusing me of attempting to ‘wield power over others’? Are you serious? What are the levers of my power here? What threat has been issued?
I’m going out on a limb to send a somewhat costly signal that this idea, especially, is worth taking seriously and treating with care, and you’re just providing further cost for my trouble.
