There's a really stupid commercial for one of Pillsbury's crescent rolls where there's only one roll left, and the guy suggests they share it. He cuts it into two pieces, one about 1/3 of the size and the other the rest, points to the small piece and says "that's half."
The other guy fights him. He should have just said, "Fine," then taken the big piece.
See, you don't get to cut the pieces AND decide which piece you get to have; that's a guarantee of unfairness since it's a conflict of interest.
It's why if you toss a coin, one tosses and the other calls which one they want.
If you're diving something with someone else, one makes the division and the other decides which piece they want. It even works if you're splitting up a business with a partner, one picks a price then the other decides whether they want the business and will pay that price, or they want the money and you pay the price.
But you don't get to both decide the size of the pieces and choose which piece, it don't work like that. |
