    What has sentence a to do with sentence b?

You are not being personal when you make a decision involving others --
perhaps you are thinking, `I am the one making the decision'.  That is
true.  But the consequences don't involve you alone.  You are telling
others that you accept this sort of restriction.  That is critical and
what I was trying to say.
