    I can’t believe you’re not misunderstanding this when it’s been explained so thoroughly.

    Let’s revamp the dinner example to fit this context:

    A family of 8 sits down to eat. The dad and oldest son get a full portion, the mom and oldest daughter get 1/2 a portion, the youngest gets 1/4 a portion and the other three get 1/3.

    Someone outside the group entirely says “The youngest isn’t getting fed fairly! Feed him a full portion!” And one of the kids getting 1/3rd a portion is replying to them saying “everyone should be getting a full portion…”

    You then storm in wearing your white knight getup screaming “HOW DARE YOU!!!”
