    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Strategic inclusion of non-contributors contradicts the foundational logic of mutual advantage, making it incoherent rather than generous.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
