That actually hits it.
It sure ain't what the rule should read, we all would agree that it's not within the sense of the rule, nor most other kind of common sense by pirate/trader encounters, yet...
It's what the rule right now, as quoted in the OP, reads as, which is the only problem imho.
Reword it, be done with it. The tricky part right now on it is just it reads that "asking a trader to stop" within a RP-scenario accounts as "proper demand" which conflicts with the first line of the rule.
Minor change.
Now. Nothing more to see here, everybody move along. Come'on, move. Keep going. Nothing to see here.
