By the time Gandhi had taken the deal 99 times, though, don't you think he might be less inclined to behave so altruistically? 1%-Gandhi would additionally know that he was on his last chance to become a millionaire, which might help sway him further.
Well, yeah, hence the mention of precommitting.
But 1% Gandhi has no reason to honor the precommitment.
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
A precommitment you can dishonor isn't much of a precommitment!
