But what I find troubling is the massive extrapolation that happens next: > This experiment helps to explain Wall Street bonuses and CEO pay, and I’m sure lots of other human behavior. I'm not saying there is or there is not something wrong with CEO compensation. But doing an extrapolation to the scale of CEO pay is just nuts. Would you step on an ant if somebody paid you 50 bucks? Ah then you could also be a hitman.
