The verb "choose" is an active verb. One does not passively "choose" anything. -- (edited)

Posted by ReluctantCynic (aka ReluctantCynic) Apr 11 '16, 12:11

A choice is an active decision to select one of two or more available options.

Are we really having this argument?

It's plain English.

If znu wanted to say that she was unconsciously influenced, then he should've written so.

If znu thought that she didn't know what she was doing, he should've written so.

Don't try to blame me for reading exactly, precisely what znu wrote. He's responsible for his own words just as we all are.

We make passive choices all the time. "I choose to go along with this because it's easiest" "I choose to do this because it helps me fit in", etc -- nm - Roger More Apr 11, 12:18 2
