Isn't it better if these people offered you even more utilons, at better odds? :)
But I do think we should keep the impersonal mugging separate - real people have lots of instincts that kick in for the original model with an actual "mugger"/beggar. I would be tempted to dismiss the original mugger out of hand, but I realised, to my surprise, that I wasn't so quick and eager to do so if the same problem was presented impersonally.
