This is what I was reacting to and I don't think that I distorted anything.  I don't dance like you prescribe, and hence I don't dance Argentine Tango. 
I work very hard to give any partner whatever latitude she wants.  With my regular partner, we totally treat the dance as a conversation.  I suggest a lead, 
and she follows.  But she follows as she chooses and goes where she will.  I then must react / follow her interpretation of my lead.  
Of course, I can lead so clearly(?) that she really has no choice, and sometimes I do.  
But that is only when I am too tired to really dance.  Then I just lead with clarity and dance through her.

Cheers,

David
