  Ok then how about it’s no money, but they have to hear about how they didn’t get the money, and so they feel kinda bummed out, if they don’t win.

    But that’s not how it would go in a situation where you just don’t make conversation. Or are you thinking they really want to have a conversation with you and are just thinking “oh gosh I’m so bummed that random person didn’t talk to me”? I don’t understand

      Your position seems to be that there is no risk too small that would override a potential win.

      I am trying to point out the absurdity of this position.

      If you can’t see the absurdity of this position, even with the silly parameters on it, then I’ll just ask this direct question:

      How do you justify ever talking to a stranger? Surely the risk of a negative outcome is just too great, because there will always be some risk.

        I generally don’t chitchat with people. It doesn’t cost anything in that situation not to talk, there’s no negative to it.
