But I still don’t think that means eat all the cookies in the cookie jar and then apologize after because nobody would have given permission. That’s still about doing what you believe to be right. She even frames the fallout as “where you supposed to do that?” and not “you shouldn’t have done that”.
Analogies only go so far, but I think eating the cookies in the cookie jar is the wrong one, because you're only feeding yourself with that one. If you're stealing flour from the baker to make a surprise cake for the whole troupe to enjoy, then you can apologize later, instead of asking first and ruining the surprise.
