is this like 構わない? that always struck me as a strange word,
translated as 'don't care' but used as 'that's fine' in a positive way.

そうです。ず here implys negative and those examples can be reaplaced
with も構わないで、. 'mind' is tricky for me when it's spoken.
(contributor: Miki)

I remember it by the translation 'without regard to'
It sounds more formal, but it works with things like: This company hires
regardless of age or experience.

why is mo used before writing kamawazu? (contributor: andre)

Maybe it's used for emphasis? (contributor: Zio)

guess: It's a scope thing... vs は and が it sort of makes sense to use
も. は would open up all sorts of possible things, が would be too
restrictive. the も would stem from nothing at all AND the original
action... just guessing
