"The incident described in this post sounds like an outlier." Would agree that was the impression I had as well. Strictly for discussion purposes, from my experience, behavior that starts out as an outlier (which works) ends up being the modus operandi if the lack of kickback and inevitable positive reinforcement (in terms of compliance) keep coming. In the same way that a child not corrected or disciplined will continue acting out especially if they get their way by doing so.
