There is a scene in the movie “A Bronx tale” where the father of a young man counsels his son not to attack another young man over a $20.00 debt which has gone unpaid for too long. The father explains this is a small price to discover that someone is not trustworthy.

That's exactly it.

It gives the idiots an 'out'. They don't have to use common sense/ logic, the answer is made for them.
