It is also true that they do not know every benefit they gain, and tend to underestimate it by a wide margin, in my swag.

But it would be nice if things were simpler, or at least spelled out and folks run out on a rail for being sneaky and over complicated about it. The complications lead to ambiguities lead to a lot of bullcrap debates, as well as opportunities to pinch from the pot.
