Yes, let's extend the logic a bit. Yes, and that's the trading game; to be the intelligent Hobbit with a big collection of hobbits from other Hobbits as part of a zero sum game. And let's assume you're the intelligent Hobbit. You know the game is rigged. Those hobbit-transfer-vehicles serve one purpose and one purpose only: to transfer hobbits from the pockets of those who own them to those that used to own them. Now, being that intelligent Hobbit and having stuffed ones' pockets full of other Hobbits' hobbits, how likely are you to turn around and use someone else's hobbit-transfer-vehicles as a safe place to park your hobbits? Yikes. Not bloody likely. Your own? Um... prudence would instead suggest a rather hasty distancing action would be in order as a hedge against being lynched. Oh me oh my... what are these intelligent Hobbits going to purchase with their ill gotten hobbits? Maybe... ... gold... ?
