That would imply that it's often valuable to conceal threats from the people who you are threatening, pretending that they are warnings about natural consequences. This would lead to a tendency to interpret warnings of consequences as threats.https://twitter.com/s_r_constantin/status/1172213464007237632 …
Sounds plausible that that's true, but it isn't implied by what I said. It could be that people think creatively in order to avoid bad natural consequences, but then if someone says "come up with a creative solution to this problem or I'll punish you", that won't work.

(they'll come up with a creative solution to a different problem: the problem of how to avoid being punished.)
