@PhilosophyExp Seems to me in that case you'd want the attendees to dictate the content of the presentations, wouldn't you?
The idea it is acceptable for conference attendees (or sponsors) to dictate the content of presentations is antithetical to free enquiry.

@charlsgeorgeson Why? (Rather than it simply being the case you wouldn't be asked again.) -
@PhilosophyExp ...seems quite similar to people 'dictating the content' of my speech. -
@charlsgeorgeson I chose words *dictate*, *attendees* & *sponsors* precisely to allow wriggle room for sort of thing you're talkng about. -
@PhilosophyExp I'm confused as to why the attendees dictating the content of a speech is bad, whereas it's ok if the organisers do it. -
@charlsgeorgeson I didn't say it was bad. I said it was antithetical to free enquiry. We can have this convo, but you need to be accurate. -
@PhilosophyExp Right...so why would it not be antithetical to free inquiry for the organisers of a conference to dictate a speech? -
@charlsgeorgeson Again, you need to be more accurate. I didn't say it wouldn't be antithetical for organisers, etc.
