Likely better to generally the pattern than narrow it, since more surface area it covers, more likely people are to want to understand it.
For example, in my opinion, pattern aligns to phrase "not in my back yard" — where ultimately, like in science, if a subject matter is vetoed as being off limits, scientists just go somewhere it is not:
Vetocracy and NIMBY under the same conceptual umbrella? I need to think about it, I see the semantic fields have non-intersecting areas that can be contradicting. E.g. how saying no to externalising pollutants to rural areas is a vetocracy?
