nonprofits know this, and milk it.
'philanthropy' is donating full time purely for the credit.
you can say that the sum effect is still the same, people donate. vanity dilutes the act. why donate in the first place? does it make you feel better off than the person you donate to? does it make you feel good? that's all fine, but then the focus shifts from the giftee to the gifter. it's insincere.
thank you, your highness.
well, if you really make me, i will submit a picture, and the task will be rendered invalid.
but i'd like to take the opportunity now to prove that i do rob: http://www.flickr.com/photos/elleko/sets/72157622315956721/
so this task is actually impossible to complete.
...for the ordinary human.
on the other hand, if i do not provide proof and simply tell you that i did it, you suspect that i didn't do it.
so even if i actually did it, you wouldn't know if i actually did.
this means even you have not seen heard or suspected, (you anti-suspected me by deleting the task that's without proof.)
if you do not delete me, i get the points.
so either way, i get the points, or you have to admit this task is logically impossible to complete and receive points for.
thank you for encouraging me. you didn't have to, but you did. that's very kind, almost silently kind, only the opposite.
oh look, i got the points already.
