Note the difference between what you said: "here's a different way of doing a thing that you're already doing, and don't mind doing, and understand the reasong for doing"

...and the thing that I said: "here's a thing that you don't want to do, and don't see the need for, but don't worry because it wont happen often" (then over time it starts happening often.

The former is not conditioning. The latter is.
