I guess my point was if they *hadn't* used a helicopter, the Zbigniew primitive would probably be complaining about that. They look for reasons to get mad, and she's chief among them.
I thought about that for a half a second myself.
In fact, that's usually my first reaction, "Well, if B were done instead of A, the primitives would complain about that; and if A were done instead of B, the primitives would complain about that."
But in this case, the Zbigniew primitive's own wallet is being touched, and so if it had gone the other way, the Zbigniew primitive would've found something else to complain about, but not this.
