Your analogy is conflating two issues: the moral/philosophical case (curtailing freedom) with the psychology of behavior (whether or not he objects). I've been talking about the later issue almost exclusively here.
Since the first is the root and source of the second, I must object to the use of the word 'conflate,' which implies an inappropriate linking. The objections spring precisely from the curtailment.
