I'd rather not; I don't think it belongs there thematically and
organizationally. See my alternate proposal for the Overview that I just
sent out (or goals or scope; it seems to belong in one of those).

I'm mildly uncomfortable with this, as I don't think it's a primary goal,
and it's worded in a pretty strong fashion. However I'm good with having a
scenario that is shows how one person wants to help another make the right
trust decisions by helping them to be in a context that reduces them
(whether it's child or elder), and this one does that. So since there's been
no push back, I'm good with it (but if anyone wants to make it a tad less
gut wrenching, I'd support that).
