Just for the sake of the discussion. Could be a team of millionaire programmers, as well. And not the farmers, but the doctors and lawyers on the other side. The commerce, the divide of labor stops there, at the S moment. Every exchange of goods, stops as well.
Except some Giga charity, which may or may not happen.
Having the discussion on examples that are wrong is bad because it leads to bad intuitions.
Not all interactions between people are commerce. People take plenty of actions that benefit other people that aren't about commerce.
