Sure, it's tough to say, the whitepaper is very wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey, stuff. Written intentionally abstract and open to subjective interpretation. It's no wonder why people cannot agree on what is right or wrong behavior. Another reason they may be using this technique is so they don't hoist themselves on their own petard. There is no right or wrong way to explain how to "fairly" divvy (X) the number of rewards to (Y) the number of people. And like you pointed out before, it's not going to be fair because there is no equality in outcome. Any attempt to explain how to do this fairly is open to a very credible debunking. This doesn't stop people from yearning for a semblance of fairness when they invest. It's why I think we can't expect investors to act 100% altruistically. It's why I respect whatever investors do with their stake. For every person out there who capitalizes to the maximum, there are loads of others who are rewarding content. It all comes down to character.
