Well, as long as you’re going to make an argument via broad definitions, it seems that “force” falls into your definition of “reason”...as in: “It makes sense to comply than to get hurt by not complying.”

Isn’t that the reason people have for using force?
“Person X will comply with demand Y if I threaten and/or use force Z.”
