Right but that's why I'm objecting to the specifics of the example, since we're stipulating someone already infected and refusing to isolate. Almost by definition the only less coercive thing than "pay him to isolate but fine him if not" is A just keeps physically hurting others

And I'm stamping my foot about the example precisely (again yes I'm being pedantic) because it seemed the claim was specifically that the choice of example didn't undermine the "generally let's try not to be coercive" argument
