Yes, but when an Ork does it, the power of the Waagh! ensures that the wagon does what they want. Mostly. Well, often. Ok, some of the time. . .
*ahem*
Inform an Ork that green is not, in fact, best. They will prove different immediately.

Give an ork a broken weapon.
Even if you tell him its broken, he will still beat you to death with it.

In a Society in which there is no law, and in theory no compulsion, the only arbiter of behaviour is public opinion. But public opinion, because of the tremendous urge to conformity in gregarious animals, is less tolerant than any system of law. When human beings are governed by "thou shalt not", the individual can practise a certain amount of eccentricity: when they are supposedly governed by "love" or "reason", he is under continuous pressure to make him behave and think in exactly the same way as everyone else.

OK how about this: Stay away from Nids, Orks, Necrons, DE, and the Imperial people (you look at them wrong and you are dead). So go back in time and make sure the first xenos humans meet are the Tau.

That is kind of impossible. 1) Humanity was created by the Old Ones on some backwater planet orbiting an isolated star in the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy. T'au have were created by... someone (not too sure, it might have been the Old Ones or the Eldar or some form of Eldar offshoot) far in the eastern edge of the Galaxy in the middle of a tightly packed star cluster. 2) Humanity has NEVER gotten along with Xenos. Never. Even in the time of the Great Crusade, they may not have been the Xenocidal maniacs they are now, but back then they were attempting to re-contact lost human worlds with relativity little resources, so it was a "Lesser of two evils" problem, the lesser evil being let the Xenos go about their merry way and the greater being getting dragged into multiple wars that they could not possibly afford. 3) And finally, the coup de grâce, Humanity discovered the Warp some time in late M3, and had colonised Mars by 200.M3, by M15 had begun to colonise other worlds using crude spacecraft, by M18 had isolated the Navigator Gene and by M21 begun it's wars with the Eldar and Ork races. T'au spontaneously and rapidly evolved and became a Space faring race in about 5,000 - 6,000 years after the first Contact in M35 (when they were little more than primitive Xenos Lifeforms) So even if you did go back in time, it would be utterly Impossible for the first Xenos that Humaniy meets to be the T'au. I also am weird and know too much of this stuff!
