Stick this in me twice. Making demands at all seems like some kind of 'we are serious' predicate but all it does is accelerate the end game, by henpecking the demands, dawdling around them, and letting the eager to cash out to then cash out.

My theory is, you make a fuss until something is offered and then you reject it, automatically and reflexive-like, so the other side gets that it isn't about power figuring the exact placability sweetspot to screw around with but something else actually.
