Easy one picture yourself at the Carnival the MSO being the Carny { hat & cane } and you {being the sucker -contractor }
standing in line to throw quarters for a 5.00 $ cupy doll with a of people in line right back of you ready to throw more per toss so you hear...step aside son ....next step right up .. Oh yeah I forgot to tell ya the game is rigged ...there is a couple of people in line that are owned by the carny / and win the cupy doll everytime for a small fee...now remember the other people in line see this ringer win and think they have a chance and the cycle continues ( us old school guys call it a Grift } that's the only analogy an old dog can give ya'...anyhow I think your question is one of the best I've seen in awhile and should make for some interesting discussion
