I am in agreeance by the way. I think perhaps my comment came across as trying to soften the seriousness of dark-patterns when really I was just trying to say that there are lots of different perspectives on different types of coercion. It's not that it's unclear when something is coercive, it's that it's unclear how much coercion and trickery is unethical, as it depends on who you ask.

Any amount of coercion and trickery is unethical. This is absolutely clear to me.
