Expendability
It goes like this.
A: I'm sorry but we don't normally do that. (paraphrase)
B: Try not to mistake your current unaccountability for expendability.
Would anyone explain what B meant?
Thank you in advance.

B appears to be saying "Just because you're currently unaccountable, don't think that makes you expendable". "unaccountable" = not responsible to anyone else for one's actions "expendable" = non-essential; able to be dismissed or replaced This seems an unusual thing to want to say. I'm wondering if it's a mistake and the sense is actually supposed to be " non -expendability".
