That is some bizarre mental gymnastics to justify the work you've done. What about the rest of us who don't want agents representing us?

If you want to use an agent for scraping/automation, you would need to supply it with auth credentials. So permission is required by default.
I think they're talking about agents that click through insurance and bank forms, not bots that post on social media.
