Another thought experiment:Jack and Jill Case - Both Jack and Jill, young bank tellers, realize that there is a flaw in the banking computer system and infer that they could successfully embezzle money without getting caught [but they do not know each other, so there is no communication of this occurring through a team effort]. Jack finds the temptation extremely difficult to resist, especially since he knows that he could get away with it. However, in the end, Jack realizes that it is better not to take the risk and does not embezzle the money. Jill on the other hand, is not tempted to steal the money for even a moment. She realizes the ease which with she could do it, but does not actually consider embezzling the money. Instead, she immediately goes to her superior and reports the problem so that it can be fixed.
