reward and punishment for one's past performance

• Mr. A provides value X to Mr. B
• Mr. B provides consideration Y to Mr. A
• Mr. A finds this activity rewarding.

Under the circumstances.

• Third party C felt that “consideration Y is less than value X”. case, Mr. C may refer to this as “rewarding exploitation”.

The term “rewarding exploitation” unnecessarily provokes strong emotions.

• The “consideration Y is less than the value X” is subjective to the third party C.

  • It’s just a “lose-lose deal” based on subjectivity.

• Labeling it “rewarding exploitation” creates the misperception that objective facts exist.

  • Creates a bias as if “Mr. B is evil” is a fact.

• Inappropriate abstraction I think it’s better to delve into “what exactly is the problem”.
