Yea, but the problem is, the other astronauts with their grenades don't see it that way. They think they can take your grenade away from you.

And I'd have to agree with them, in this case.

But your analogy is really even more flawed than that. You've given up at the outset. You've actually assigned everybody grenades. You've made yourself a hostage. You've convinced yourself you have no choice. But you don't speak for me, and you don't speak for anyone else. So if you and I are ever together on a real spacecraft with these guys, and they go after you to get your grenade, I'll probably be right in there with them, because I'd rather try to get it myself first than just let them have it.
