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.
