“A well-known principle of human behavior says that when we ask someone to do us a favor we will be more successful if we provide a reason. People simply like to have reasons for what they do.”
― Robert B. Cialdini, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, 1984

What can we learn from the story of a man with no problems? More than you might think! Because, as Jerry Weinberg said: "There's always a problem!"

"Subjective validation, sometimes called personal validation effect, is a cognitive bias by which people will consider a statement or another piece of information to be correct if it has any personal meaning or significance to them. People whose opinion is affected by subjective validation will perceive two unrelated events (i.e., a coincidence) to be related because their personal beliefs demand that they be related."

Being able to modulate your tech comms is more effective for clear communication than asserting everyone should "just know how to block what they don't like".
Information transfer is bilateral, by definition. Having multiple parties involved means that there are SO many possible adjustments to improve comfort and quality for all involved. (Which includes anyone later, who sees it or is told about it or the original participants who go back and check.)

“There is a natural human tendency to dislike a person who brings us unpleasant information, even when that person did not cause the bad news. The simple association with it is enough to stimulate our dislike.”
― Robert B. Cialdini, in his book "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion", 1984

When facilitating, I prefer the words agreements or covenants, not ground rules. Why? Because ground rules are handed down from on high.
