If the strategy is vibes-invariant, it's also ignoring useful information. It's not sensible to use an X-invariant strategy unless you believe X carries no information whatsoever. And that's kind of what the OP is arguing, that vibes do carry information. If you disagree with that, argue that directly! Arguing that you can adopt an invariant strategy without tossing away information is not correct or useful.

I wonder if that's why your friend might say something "cool, can you pick me up on the way? Any time is good for me."

As in, to release you from the implicit assurance of the specific time.
