In an invented situation, asking about a person’s whereabouts, an ordinary employment contact and participating in an income collection can have different objects. Collapsing them into one word, cooperation, loses relevant differences. Yet a humanitarian label does not automatically make an action permissible. Applicable restrictions, authority and circumstances need separate consideration. Somebody else’s professional mandate cannot be borrowed as permission for a reader to repeat an operation in a personal capacity."
