It's been my experience that people who want a reason for disengagement primarily want that reason so they can argue it is incorrect or can be overcome.

What would convince that wasn't the case sufficiently for you to proffer a reason for disengagement?

Nothing I can think of. All assurances to the contrary have ended up trojan horses. Social interactions are complicated. Full and unilateral disengagement is extremely low cost and high success rate.
