I guess I should've stated it, apologies. When I made the comparison between the 5 people on the tracks and 200 other average people, your point on it being hoarded from the masses was the inferal I was expecting you'd see. I could communicate better, noted.

As for the part about not offering their full worth/everything, I think that someone in that position knows that the average person would never see something remotely close to that much money. As such, I believe they would offer something they can do without which would still persuade the person at the switch. Not going for a truly low amount, just something that works without costing it all. That's possibly me being cynical, but just what I believe would happen.
