I would define involuntary as "not done freely by choice as an act of the will". That would encompass actions one is compelled to take, actions made under duress, as well as reflex actions. | |

| Nov 13, 2023 at 13:23 | comment | added | TimR | Your reading is a contradiction of his earlier dictum on good diplomacy; he says it is "a grace of state" -- that is, something you cannot choose or decide to have, you either have grace or you don't. | |

He just doesn't care what reaction his truth-telling might get, and that gives him the freedom to express his views without reservation. | |
