Let me clarify: I have no proposals regarding trust, compliance, modesty, or tender-mindedness. … When I said I was “leaning towards [docility] being a good thing”, I said that mainly because I perceived the word “docility” to have altruistic connotations.
But altruism was in his list along with trust, compliance, etc. So I don’t think you actually answered his objections.
If I tell you I don’t want to eat foods made using vomit, excrement, or bile, and you tell me “well, the food doesn’t contain any vomit or bile”, that’s not really very comforting.
