some of the pro tanto reasons Holden mentioned in favour of Steering also seemed like they should apply to Anchoring
- e.g. an extreme version of stare genesiswhereby rules cannot be changed
Whelp.

pro tanto: So it turns out pro tanto means just to the limit it exists, e.g. “some of the reasons Holden mentioned apply to anchoring, but only to some limited extent”.
stare genesis: I can’t find stare genesis in the link provided, but stare decisis is in there, and that refers to the legal doctrine of precedent.
Note that in latin, “stare” means to “stand or remains’, and “decisis” means “past decisions”.
In latin, “genesis’ means “from the beginning, origin”. So maybe “stare genesis” means an extreme case where nothing ever changes?
I’m working with a below average IQ and a STEM degree here.
The first bit just means that I was laying out some reasons that Holden missed, but I didn’t mean to imply they were the most important reasons. For example, we have a pro tanto duty not to lie, but you should still lie if it’s necessary to save people in your attic from being murdered, because saving people from murdered is a more important reason.
The second bit refers to a legal doctrine whereby once a decision has been made, it shouldn’t be changed by subsequent courts, even if they think the decision was wrong. The idea is to promote predictable and consistent law, but the disadvantage is that it makes it difficult/impossible to correct previous mistakes. And yes I misremembered my latin, sorry!

Ahh, sorry!
