I think the heuristic I mentioned is designed for sexual assault, and I wouldn’t expect it to be the right move for less severe values of interpersonal harm.
Realizing now that I did the very thing that annoys me about these discussions: make statements tuned for severe and obvious cases that have implications about less severe or obvious cases, but not being clear about it, leaving the reader to wonder if they ought to round up the less obvious cases into a more obvious case. Sorry about that.
