Or perhaps they simply value their respect for others more... @:-)

Yes, there is a difference, but part of that difference is that the former is very often not practical, especially when in a time crunch. UA clearly feels that they would rather deal with the ire of a single 1K than 4 GMs - it's more practical and, on average, perhaps even more economical. I happen to agree with them in this circumstance.

Of course, I'm not a 1K, so I guess my opinion doesn't really mean much.
