Common misconceptions
  • Believing only physical objects are 'goods' from helpers (misses that a doctor provides a service, not a good)
  • Believing helpers help for free without any system (introduces the word 'job' deliberately)
  • Confusing 'need' with 'want' (deliberately deferred to K-Spring)
