I think you're missing the original point about "active denial" vs "irrelevance".

You don't actively deny every jurisdiction that doesn't apply to you, not to mention the infinite number of nonexistent jurisdictions that you could _imagine_ and don't even purport reign anywhere. They are more like "irrelevant" or "N/A". Supporting a distant (or imaginary) jurisdiction is an active choice, simply not thinking about them is as close to neutral state of nature as you can get.

Did you think about an elephant while reading that paragraph? If not, were you "denying the elephant"?
