Oh wait. You did. And they did. And then I blew your reimbursement on some other piece of gear that I've already forgotten and already sold. And now they don't make ebows anymore.

The guy who came into the room first knew right away that it was a setup. His comment was that $100 was way too much. If it were just $20, it would have been more of a temptation. They did seem to get the point though; they realized I wasn't trying to "trick them" to see if they were ethical, but I was trying to get them to think about <em>why</em> they choose to act ethically. It led to a really great discussion of Virtue Ethics. I overshot it. The guy who came into the room first knew right away that it was a setup. His comment was that $100 was way too much.
