Well, c'mon that's not true. I don't like what he said, but I have definitely demanded things out of people I worry about. For example, I have to coerce my father into getting his colonoscopy and confiscate his fake helmet so he wears a real one when riding his motorcycle. My old boss refused to see her mother until she started losing weight (her mom was morbidly obese).

Right or wrong, people demand things of other people all the time because they are concerned about them.
