    Reason for
    ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Strategic inclusion may generate greater overall benefit through stability, social cohesion, and reduced conflict costs than strict contribution-matching.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Generosity by definition transcends rational self-interest; calling it incoherent conflates it with prudence rather than refuting moral intent.

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Calling incoherent policies 'generous' masks a logical failure rather than celebrating moral virtue.
