If you’re not interested in answering this criticism … well, fair enough. But I’d appreciate it if you don’t answer things out of context, it rather confuses things?
In the grandparent I directly answered both the immediate context (that was quoted) and the broader context. In particular I focussed on explaining the difference between an offer and a threat. That distinction is rather critical and also something you directly asked about.
It so happens that you don’t want there to be an answer to the rhetorical question you asked. Fortunately (for decision theorists) there is one in this case. There is a joint in reality here. It applies even to situations that don’t add in any confounding “acausal” considerations. Note that this is different to the challenging problem of distributing gains from trade. In those situations ‘negotiation’ and ‘extortion’ really are equivalent.
