No Take, Only Throw

Use No Take, Only Throw when a simple setup exposes the rule, tradeoff, or behavior people wish others followed.

What it expresses

Norm versus behavior: the dog demanding a thrown toy while refusing to release it represents a moment where a simple setup exposes the rule, tradeoff, or behavior people wish others followed.

Example

For example, everyone wants instant alerts but nobody wants notifications; the visual analogy is the dog demanding a thrown toy while refusing to release it, signaling that a simple setup exposes the rule, tradeoff, or behavior people wish others followed.

When not to use it

Avoid when there is no behavioral contradiction; the dog demanding a thrown toy while refusing to release it would incorrectly signal that a simple setup exposes the rule, tradeoff, or behavior people wish others followed.
