    Dudes just saying you can be deceptive without intending it. Its not the craziest idea is it?

    To avoid abusing the sunk cost fallacy, it would be best to tell the dad that is not the correct rate, and to please reach out to their friend with the correction.

    No chance of someone feeling like they might as well choose youre higher rate because they are already talking to you.

        In my opinion its a direct response to the advice that this can be turned into a positive, and is just pointing out that its technically based on a deceptive principle so you should not make a habit out of it.

        I think its fair to consider the situation from all involved perspectives, including the Dads friend.
