Para Dahlberg (2005), que não somente examina os três modos de comunicação discutidos por Young, mas defende a concepção habermasiana da esfera pública como sendo capaz de maximizar a inclusão da diferença na troca deliberativa, o cumprimento serve como um complemento para as deliberações, particularmente quando fortes contestações estão em jogo.…”
