Let's assume that the Cro-Magnon tribe needs 1 mammoth from each person as tribute to the Neanderthals across the valley. Should we take the one mammoth Oog got (he has a hurt knee) or should we let him keep most of his mammoth and distribute the needed mammoth parts around for the healthy members to pay? It works both ways. And not all of society's Oogs are lazy. Some are just unlucky or disadvantaged, etc.
