>>Good plots force characters to make decisions (as McKee specifies under pressure)

Important point. The plot is a conspiracy against the protagonist. Time is always an invisible foe. The character doesn't have the luxury of being able to leisurely ponder the issue, google for all the facts, methodically weigh all the pros and cons. The plot and time co-conspire to force the protagonist to make choices, to act NOW.
