Because I've seen it... that's all. Have you ever seen someone take something they were offered for free, even though they didn't really want it... but just because
it was free? I have. Have you ever seen looters after a disaster or riot? I have. It happens. Not a belief or a judgment, just a fact based on eye-witnessing.
I'm not saying every human does it. But I am saying that enough humans do it to make it something to consider in any market. Merchants all understand that... that's why stores have locks, and why merchants know they can get on peoples' good side simply by giving something away, in most countries in the world.
