K. however has fallen into something like idolatry -- if one avoids idols one gets a better direct connection. This causes confusions and leads to less self-respect for the automony of operation that K. as an agent in the field should expect to enjoy.
An agent has the status of bailor with regards to the property bailed, that is entrusted, to him by the person or incorporate group of persons he is acting as agent for. The agent must keep the property so entrusted to him in better regard than the agent would his own property, and with more care than the common expectation for his own property. But having met that expectation of more care and responsibility for the entrusted property the agent is quite free in his operation on behalf of his Trustee.
Idolatry can also give rise to the confusions of the process of law as well as underregard for agency and other property rights that results in over legislation, over-regulation, and then general scoffing at the law.
