Yes. If RPs do a good job of inferring the user's intent before sending them
to the OP (the OP certainly has no ability to accomplish that) they can
craft their requests such that there is a very high likelihood that the user
will say 'yes' to everything requested. That will result in the maximum
value being obtained from using AX to start with.
