I’m intrigued by the use of the verb “require”. In what circumstances can you be required this and why must you comply?

Good points. I’ll have to try it.

Why do you prefer it?

You may be right in principle, but I’m not willing to die for it for it. Sorry if that offends your purist revolutionary mind.

Well, when I’m not wanted I tend to burn bridges.
