Callan: I included it to show that contingent, moment-to-moment assent is independent of, trumps, standing agreements. THAT'S the theory point. You aren't getting past the part where the people are playing around with their standing agreements - a social concern - to see my theory point.
If I can come up with examples where contingent, moment-to-moment assent trumps standing agreements, but where the people aren't playing around with their standing agreements, maybe then you'll be able to see my point.
While I'm trying to come up with some examples for your benefit, you could do me the same and try to see past your outrage at the imaginary players' social behavior, to see the theory point that they're illustrating. I'm not hopeful, but you could try.
