OK, so if Bilmore has 5, Ty has 10, and Slave has 15, but Ty and Slave decide that taking Bilmore's 5 will let them each end up with 5 (for a net gain of 5), how will Bilmore be at least as well off as Ty (15) and Slave (20) when he has nothing (as usual)? And even if you give him 5 for taking 5 (though I know you'll only give him 3), how?
Though I grant you, Atticus will be pleased because he takes 1 whenever 5 change hands.

If Bilmore has 5, I have 10, and Slave has 15, and Slave and I get together to pass free-trade legislation that leaves Bilmore with 0, me with 15, and Slave with 25, we should still want to pass the law if part of the deal is that we take 2 from me and 3 from Slave to restore Bilmore to his prior position.
