Very weird point of view.
Accordingly to your POV it is better not to give you any samples at all, only then you agree to pay a full price.
Don't you think there is a flaw in your thinking?
You pay for the whole work. Whether the sample is 2 chapters or half a book, it doesn't matter. What if the writer would say: Read the book, if you like it pay for it. If we follow your way, then we would pay nothing because we finished the book and there is nothing left to pay for.
