The kid will definitely like that but I don't think it will stop him from saying it the next time he's physically being taken to another place.
He will like it though. He's saying those words because he can command an adult to take their hands off him AND he gets the bonus of some one to one each time. You could be talking about dental surgery afterwards and it will go into his brain the same. He gets the adult got. That's what he's after.
It changes the matrix of the situation from his consequence for disobeying to an adult being put in the hot seat and then intense one to one. It is brilliant BUT he didn't invent it. Many lil creeps before him have tried the projection deflection. He's just been successful enough to try it on someone other than family.
