Episode 7 · What Withholdeth: Restraint in Ordinary Organisations

Governing by Not Adding: Laozi and the Withdrawn Wording

Is declining to add a control, or withdrawing a promise, also a form of restraint, and who is in a position to recognise it as one, in the Dao De Jing (Legge's translation) and in a synthetic ARCHON scene in which same-day delivery wording is to be removed from search ads? It does not judge whether the wording should have been removed.
