OK, now do this experiment for me:
Take 10 coins and place them in a bowl.
Now, select 4 coins to remove from the bowl.
However, when you select those 4 to remove from the bowl, DO NOT select 6 to remain in the bowl.
Let me know your results.
I imagine the 4 that were pulled out will forever bow down to the one who rescued them because they in no way deserved to be rescued and there was no way they could have escaped on their own.
