If your regular waitress usually gets a two dollar tip from you for your regular lunch and one day you give her a buck fifty, you aren't taking anything away from her. Technically, legally, in a court of law, and in a debate you are probably right and you will probably win your case. But for the waitress's child in school who normally gets $2.00 for lunch, but because you cut down on your tipping, the waitress would have to cut down her child's lunch money. Something was taken away from her (perhaps she could do without milk). You could be right. So what? The child losing her milk money is not your fault. I'll agree with you on that. So what? Life is not all about being right - technically.
