I think that sums up the "fleets of agents" approach fairly well.
And in what way is this distinguishable from disrespect? There is some major assumption in your post that remains to be explained.
Anglo evangelicalism constrained its meaning to something like "intellectual assent", for its own purposes (in my opinion, it made for better sales models) some time in the nineteenth century. And as you essentially point out, intellectual assent is fairly meaningless.
Particularly if we define or replace "corrupt" by "extracting funds in every practicable way," which is observable behavior (regardless of reason or motivation) and which is _not_ covered in your explanation?
One of these is not like the others.

What is "you" in this scenario if not your brain?
