Unrelated but for those wondering, "diktat" is not a misspelling of "dictates" as I initially thought. Instead, "diktat" means "an order or decree imposed by someone in power without popular consent" whereas "dictates" means "an order or principle that must be obeyed". Think "the dictates of the fashion community" versus "The diktats of the dictator"
