As a serial contrarian, I might want to point out that interpreting gospels in the
correct context is fraught with danger, that literal interpretations are not
always the most correct, and that taking statements out of the context in
which they're uttered can be extremely misleading. If someone asks me if
you have to lead the cross, I've been known to utter very similar things.

Of course you lead everything. I'm a bit tired of people insinuating that if you
actually listen to responses by the follower, you're "not leading". That's a
straw man's argument - you do lead everything that *you* plan to happen in
a dance - including, indeed, if you want to make the lady blink (or collect
slowly, or make an adorno, or pause oh-so slightly and restart *just* behind
the beat,...).

The point is: if the woman decides not to blink despite Gavito's lead, what does
he *then* do? Run away screaming? And is she ever wrong if she decides not to
blink, even if she's *not* dancing with Gavito?
