### Not inapplicable. By performing this ethical evaluation I come to
real-world applicable conclusions: I am not bound by moral law to obey
demands from the entitlees. I may bend to superior force but it is
right and proper and fair to deny them their satisfaction whenever and
however I can. Maybe this doesn't count for much in the greater scheme
of things but it does mean something for me.
