no, it's not about "least consequential" but about "most unjustified". as long as you have even more unjustified measures in place, you will have a hard time fighting the less unjustified

right, that's my point!

the point here is that It seems entiterly arbitrary to enforce seat-belts but not enforce vaccine-shots.

in a constitutional state mandates should not be arbitrarys, that's a defining characteristic actually.

so either you have seatbelt laws and vaccine mandates, or you have no vaccine mandates, but also don't enforce seatbelts.

then if you decide to enforce seatbelts, where do you stop? smokeing, obesity, extreme sports, going outside without a proper reason ... you needed to outlaw all of these "risky-activities" for the good of society then!

I argue that the fight needs to start with the most unjustified measures. seat-belts, helmets etc.

As long as you have those in place it's only consequential that more protective measures are in place as well - i.e ones that actually do have an protective impact on society

it's up to my passengers then - their personal decision - take the risk without me wearing the seatbelt, not riding with me or convince me to put on one.

Why can I be forced to use seatbelts and vaccine skeptics are not forced to get the shot?

My decision is purely personal, while theirs does increase the risk for everyone around.

Ever rode a motorcycle without a helmet? That's the real deal!

an even more succinct way might be:

   blocks _              _      True = True
   blocks Tile{isWater}  floats _    = not isWater || floats
   blocks Creature{}     _      _    = True
   blocks Fire{}         _      _    = False
   blocks Wall{}         _      _    = True
it does not get much closer to truth-tables, if you ask me
