    It is not the case that If guidance control can be present where reasons-responsiveness is locally absent, responsiveness is not a necessary condition for guidance control.

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

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.If reasons-responsiveness can be absent at the moment of action, it's unclear what 'guidance' means—the agent isn't being guided by reasons then.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Establishing that responsiveness is absent somewhere doesn't prove it's unnecessary; it may only show guidance control is fragile or partial.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The distinction between 'local' and 'global' responsiveness itself requires that responsiveness matters—undermining the main claim's scope.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Agents can exercise guidance control through established habits and dispositions without consciously responding to reasons in each instance.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Local gaps in reasons-responsiveness (e.g., during distraction) don't eliminate guidance control if the agent retained prior rational capacities.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Guidance control requires the ability to act otherwise via rational reflection, not constant moment-to-moment responsiveness to all reasons.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
