No, I'm not imagining that.
I was visualizing it that way, but no longer.
I understand the issue now, although (like you),
I'm not totally convinced by the claim.
The actual situation mirrors reality quite closely.
Suppose you're at a bar, and you leave the bar and playfully hit one person.
The bystanders and bar staff might well just assume that you're just joshing
with that other person, and it might well be no big deal.
But suppose you leave the bar and hit four people.
Then your actions may well be considered illegal and I suppose the cops
might be called and declare your behaviour illegal.
