Questionable definition?

[edit]

The def says: "the resource is inadequate to fit the needs of all, resulting in each competitor obtaining an equally partitioned amount and thus never the amount it needs". However, a resource that is inadequate to fit the needs of all might still fit the needs of some: e.g. lion needs 3, mouse needs 2; there is only 4 to go around; lion gets 3, mouse gets 1. In this respect the def is unclear. Equinox 20:48, 19 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
