How do you arrive at the interpretation?


Because that's what "established" means, of course.

Oh? Consider this exchange:

N1234: Podunk center, N1234.

Podunk: N1234, go ahead.


Assuming that Podunk center controls a Class C airspace, that exchange
authorizes N1234 to enter. No request. Just communications.


No Center controls Class C airspace in the US.



Suppose Podunk had included a "remain clear of the Class C"
instruction. How would N1234 "drop the original request"?


By saying something like, "never mind, Podunk, we'll just go around", or
just leaving the frequency and going around.
