Even cold algorithms and coms protocols have a teardown phase.
Otherwise loose ends like half-filled buffers and outstanding packets
can't be resolved. And the sudden cessation of a link is
indistinguishable from a peer dying, or a medium failure.
You'd think that a technologically informed culture might actually
tend toward more formal protocols of initiation and disengagement.
The problem for people seeking alignment, but who are emotionally
immature and cannot negotiate, is that they err towards conflict
avoidance.
Technology has reduced us all to abject fear of being "unacceptable"
or "awkward". So we'd rather be brutally cruel than even seen as
wrong.
