Agreed. We all have choices to make. Therefore, IMHO the game doesn't need to be hardcoded to prevent anything that a human wouldn't fall for.

I am frequently, in a current game on PBW, gifting star charts and comm channels. I get nothing in return, 'cause no one has reciprocated, but I don't mind. I just want to move the game along by saving everyone explore time.

I don't believe all trades have to be "fair", against humans or AI. I just think it's dumb to have tech acquisition work one way in one case and a different way another time, is all.
