There is a big difference between encouragement and force. Encouragement takes longer, but is more likely to be met with cooperation.
Force is quicker, but more likely to be met with resistance.

Example:

If you have the time, convincing your 4-year old to let you put on her shoes results in a less cranky 4-year old and a more pleasant day for the rest of the day.
If you don’t have the time and you have to put  the shoes on despite the objections of the 4-year old, you’re in for a day of multiple dealings with an angry
	child who will take every opportunity to make your life miserable.

Am I comparing those who insist on staying with IPv4-only to 4-year olds? Well, you be the judge. If you can find a difference, please point it out.
