I realize this story is probably made up but I know one area where the pattern seems to ring true. If you have three developers working for your company, all equally contributing effort but: 1. One lives in US, one from Eastern Europe, one in India. I think we might find, more often than not, we don't divide the cookies equally among those developers and one of them quite greedily eats more than their fair share over and over. We do a lot of things in life that we attribute to being "deserved" but none more flagrantly unequal than the seemingly arbitrary income disparity of country of residence.
