I can believe that I'll survive without my right arm while simultaneously not looking to chop it off. Yes, sure, all my people are replaceable, but I'm not going to go around flipping a coin on whether they stay or go. Replacing them has costs and risks, and it's cost a lot just getting the people I have.

To make everyone's life more miserable, hoping that your high performers don't leave, that's just shooting yourself in the foot because "I can still walk eventually".

I am not going to disagree. Just pointing out the logic such as it is.
