If you are trading certificates with someone, you are deferring to their views on what to do
I think this is meaningfully wrong; at least the sense in which you are deferring is not stronger than the sense in which employees are deferring to their employer’s views on what to do (i.e. it’s not an epistemic deferral but a deferral to authority).

“The sense in which employees are deferring to their employer’s views on what to do” sounds fine to me, that’s all I meant to say.
