There is a third group: (iii) individuals who hope that some sort of chance nepotism will benefit them someday and don’t want society to move away from it before it does. If someone has to decide openly between allowing or denying an instance nepotism, based on a secretly-held belief that it’s acceptable because it could benefit them, then they are able to take the stance that “nepotism is bad, but anti-nepotism has gone too far” in order to extend the life of the benefit (and their chances of benefiting from it).
