If they reason that their witnessing a reaction is necessary for their analysis to be well informed, they certainly might, especially if they perceive a client as having given them carte blanche, or free reign.

“We use our minds not to discover facts but to hide them. One of things the screen hides most effectively is the body, our own body, by which I mean, the ins and outs of it, its interiors. Like a veil thrown over the skin to secure its modesty, the screen partially removes from the mind the inner states of the body, those that constitute the flow of life as it wanders in the journey of each day.”
