If they make decisions based on assumptions, that is my fault, you’re saying? No dice.

I’ll agree that I forfeit the right to complain about those decisions if I withheld relevant information. I can even agree that I bear partial responsibility for their incorrect assumptions. But any decisions based on those assumptions are theirs alone.
