I was referring to the protection racket contract, not the pledge. I'm not even going to try to argue about the reasonableness of agreeing to let anyone act on your behalf; you've already seen the result. I certainly wouldn't agree to a contract that forbid me to flip my posture to supine or go on hold for a few days while I'm on vacation.
