Conscious inaction; an action in itself?

[devonin]

Well, I mean it comes down to the fact that I consider knowing you can act, and choosing not to, to be a deliberate -action- and like all actions, has consequences.

To me, you're putting the cart before the horse and saying "Unless there are -outside consequences- you haven't acted" Where to me, the actions you -enabled- by -choosing- to not act -are- the consequences of that action.

Basically, I consider "refraining from disabling" and "enabling" to be functionally the same thing, and you do not.
