Another approach (what I assumed would happen) is to have each group's logic independent, and not cascade. So it doesn't matter if I've already assigned the ABC group, typing a single A keeps the ADE group white, up to unique

Incentives are just completely misaligned. There are more ways to pretend you're helping than to actual help, these ways are cheaper, and nothing incentivizes punishment. The buyers of the snake oil are just as happy as the sellers. Bu
