    It is not the case that A relationship in which interference is permanently foreclosed—by law, incapacity, or exit rights—lacks the asymmetric vulnerability that constitutes domination proper.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Exit rights themselves can be illusory; formal freedom to leave means nothing if actual costs (economic, social, psychological) are prohibitively high.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Laws and incapacity protections are only effective if enforced and accessible; their mere existence doesn't prevent interference when enforcement fails.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Domination involves the permanent *threat* of interference, not just its actualization; foreclosure prevents action but not the credible threat of it.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Domination requires the dominated party to lack realistic exit options, making permanent foreclosure of interference a necessary condition.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Legal constraints and incapacity protections remove the arbitrary discretion that allows one party to threaten the other's basic interests.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Asymmetric vulnerability only matters morally when someone can exploit it; built-in protections eliminate exploitability regardless of power differences.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
