The thing was to leave a chance to the poor. That's all. I'm sure everyone understood.
BTW, as far as the "let's agree to disagree" philosophy is concerned... it looks like a good philosophy, but it is not always the case. I'll give an example. I myself will never "agree to disagree" with, let's say, an "intellectually challenged" teenager who likes to make graffitis on beautiful historical buildings. It's an example, OK? The teenager is doing a thing which he himself considers to be good, in line with his values etc., but which in fact is bad for everybody else. How to "agree to disagree" and pretend not seeing the bad part of his action?
To "agree to disagree" might sometimes lead to major problems...
... but this belongs to a different story.
