When I think of this subject about giving commands, the mental image I
get is about someone trusting his command will be obeyed. Constraint,
agression, or hauteur comes as a sign of someone who has not any
significant authority, so some additional force have to be used on the
command in order to be obeyed. That's just my very personal take of
this about commands.
