Nobody asked me to take either vow. Doing so isn't in the spirit of this community. The only reason someone might vow is to create a precommitment. You didn't make any decent argument about why this is a case where a precommitment is useful.

No point swearing an oath to nothing, yeah. Reality isn't going to listen to you because you took a vow.
