That's true for single persons. But in a community which consists of a certain
number of persons or more, there's _always_ persons who don't.

If the probability that a person behaves like you say is 90%, how high is the
probability that everyone in a group of 50 people behaves like you describe?
Very small... (0.90^50 = 0.005 => 0.5%) That's the point.
