I think this is a clever argument Peter. But does it increase the beta without changing the expected outcome?

E.g. if I choose the right org to donate to, then my impact is doubled by getting others to join. But if I choose the wrong org, that error is compounded doubly because not only will I have mistakenly given to a bad org, but others' donations will be put there as well.
