De jure vs de facto. From the standpoint of a legal fiction you're not wrong, however an option made under duress isn't really an option.

Do you also argue that homelessness doesn't exist due to squatters rights?

    No. Plea bargains are due process. It is far from perfect, ideal, or even good. But the seventh amendment isn't a novel-sized book, so they left some things to our society's interpretation, and we're fucking it up bigly.
