Re: ethics - do you point this out?

Anyone here who is saying its SO obvious what they would do is only saying it because they don't have $400 in chips shoved in front of them right now.
Most ppl would at least THINK of keeping the money

I'll take it one further and say that most people would actually KEEP THE MONEY despite the fact that they KNOW IT'S WRONG.
I'm not saying that you wouldn't be tempted to keep the money. In this particular case, doing the wrong thing would be much easier than doing the right thing, since the wrong thing nets you a tourney win and I don't know how much cash. But whether there is $4 at stake or $4 million, the right thing to do is still obvious - it's just more difficult to do when you have $4 million at stake rather than $40.
In fact, when it comes to ethics, the more difficult it is to do the right thing, the more value it has. That is, you don't get any brownie points for NOT robbing a bank on your way to work today, because NOT robbing a bank is a hell of a lot easier than robbing one.
