A thing I sort-of hoped to see in the “a few caveats” section:
* People’s boundaries do not emanate purely from their platonic selves, irrespective of the culture they’re in and the boundaries set by that culture. Related to the point about grooming/testing-the-waters, if the cultural boundary is set at a given place, people’s personal boundaries will often expand or retract somewhat, to be nearer to the cultural boundary.
