Almost everything you do is conditional.
So if I buy a bottle of whisky in a supermarket I have to prove I'm over 18. I'm not allowed to drink in a pub unless I can prove I'm over 18. The pub landlord can throw me out if he doesn't like the look of me. The restaurateur can pretend he has no tables.
You can't hire a car without showing a (forgeable) driving licence
The list goes on and on but still people who happily comply with all of the above ( and more ) day in day out can still find an example that is unacceptable for no obvious rational reason....except that it's a new one
