You are focused on the outcome Only that that is the way that you measure whether the opportunity was really equivalent. There should be a statistical - aggregate agreement if the opportunity was really equivalent. A vivid example might be: Two guys work for a fish monger. One is paid in silver, and the other gets an equivalent value in fish. The second would be at a natural disadvantage because he would have a harder time transporting and disposing of the fish. There would also be a distinct time disadvantage to his compensation. This is similar to the events I have supposed. Just change the Two guys work to One guy invested and the other worked. I maintain that at some level the investment and the work are both contributions but one is compensated with a much more disadvantageous arrangement. TP
