In both cases, comprehensible speech, an established role and conditions of assistance remain separate grounds. One cannot supply all the others, and an apparently reassuring feature cannot settle an unrelated question."

This is a possible consequence of overbroad exclusion, rather than a measured prediction for every case. A useful account retains access to ordinary relationships while taking a particular threat seriously. Opposing criminal conduct does not require treating cultural closeness as an accusation, and cultural closeness provides no exemption from considering actual harm. Both principles allow attention to the person without dissolving the surrounding social conditions."
