Actually, it's just a dumb story -- a society that wouldn't even lock the storage closet or put a sign on the door saying, "If you stow away here, you will die" is one that doesn't value human life much. (For that matter, if the fuel is so precisely calculated and scarce, why have a big empty supply closet on the ship?)

(Disclaimer: I read these critiques of the story elsewhere; don't remember the source, though.)
