In my experience, rules select players. When you notice a certain personality being over-represented in a given game, it's almost always a result of the rules weeding out the others.

So it's not too surprising that the people who remain in commission-based sales positions are overwhelmingly those who care more bout the meta-game of amassing rewards than in the business' overall well being or that of its customers.

Players can adapt to different rules. Selection is not the only relevant dynamic.

That's just a subtler manifestation of the same principle. Selecting agents with behaviour X vs. selecting behaviour X within agents.

It's a lot cheaper, though, and makes a huge difference when judging people.
