I think in practice these are both only second-order effects, as the uncertainty of the future*, acting as a low-pass filter, tends to force a bit of Kantian Categorical Imperative on most actors.
Erich Honecker was taking a tour of East German institutions. Shown the mental institution, he said "increase their budget by 5 million marks". Shown the jail, he said "increase their budget by 10 million marks". Shown a few kindergardens, he said "increase their budget by a thousand marks".

(d) something outside my impromptu case analysis?
