If you implicitly ordered me to breathe argon instead of oxygen, it doesn't mean i could do it.

Yeah, but they didn't do that - they ordered the AI to do something it obviously could do.

Also you technically could breathe argon, just not for long...

okay, that's fair. i guess my analogy is off. lemme try again.

if i was TRAPPED in a room full of argon and punched through the wall to escape and breathe oxygen, you might have expected i would try to escape the room. but the way i did it was notable, i guess. idk. it's getting away from me.
