Justice meets the social cost of being the one who speaks. The freeloader gains from a shared reward they didn't earn; saying so is fair but turns you into the accuser. With the assessor about to decide, silence isn't neutral โ it lets the misattribution stand.
Why people split
One side treats credit-tracking as basic fairness โ rewards untethered from effort corrode every future group, so accuracy is worth the discomfort. The other treats not throwing someone under the bus as the higher value, absorbing the unfairness rather than becoming the person who tanked a teammate.

Worth asking yourself
- Would you apply the same standard to yourself?
- Does context excuse the act, or just explain it?
