        By your logic, if you gave me four quarters for my dollar bill, you’d then complain that I made out with the “full value” of your quarters, and treat it like I stole your coins, instead of the mutually-agreed-upon trade that actually occurred.

        Even if you gave me five quarters and I gave you one dollar bill, an uneven trade in my favor, I didn’t end up with the “full value” ($1.25) of your money. I ended up plus only 25 cents.

        Learn what “full” means.
