Giving up a shot you could have taken tells everybody what you are actually playing for. It is a small, public decision, and people file it away fast. That is why the willing passer keeps getting picked even when somebody else scores more, because playing alongside them is easy and easy is rare. The same rule runs group projects, shifts and kitchens.
