The words we have are fine.
We just need to assign liability by ownership/initiation: if your "agent" destroys something, even though you didn't tell it to (because it had "agency"), you should be liable for the damages.

- necovek 2mo agoI believe their complaint is between "agents" and (them not having) "agency" — by definition, agent is something which has agency. If you want to use "distinction & choice", you'd need a new word for an "agent" too. I actually like the appropriatelly directional "harness".
