<p>Let’s bring this into the realm of concrete reality, just for the fun of it.</p>
<p>Your kid has a minor disability that negligibly affects his academic performance. Would you let him use it to get extra time on the SATs?</p>
<p>Your kid always gets picked last for sports teams at school, and seems very distressed about it. He dreams of becoming a professional football player. What do you do?</p>
<p>Everyone else at school has the brand-new $80 Mighty-Morphin’-Power-Rangers doll. He wants one too. Do you cave?</p>
<p>Your kid brings home a girl who’s beautiful but completely incompatible with him. How would you minimize the pain of the eventual breakup?</p>
