surprising use of "duress". Why not "pressure" or "stress"? duress /djʊ(ə)ˈrɛs, ˈdjʊərɛs/ noun. Also †-esse. me. [ORIGIN: Old French duresse from Latin duritia, from durus hard: see -ess2.] †1. Harsh treatment; oppression, cruelty; harm, injury. me–l17. †2. Hardness; roughness, violence; endurance, firmness. lme–m17. 3. Constraint, compulsion, esp. through imprisonment, threats, or violence; spec. in Law, constraint illegally exercised to force a person to perform an act. lme. J. L. Austin Voidable for duress or undue influence. A. Fraser A laborious composition, no doubt written under duress. 4. Forced confinement, imprisonment. Cf. durance 2. lme. J. McCarthy Some of the missionaries had been four years in duresse.

I'd like to like these lectures but they are so poor. Sometimes sound quality is poor and just a tip, edit out people checking if their mic is on.
