I get that.
And in the same situation I would have been utterly fucking incensed (and a million miles away from seeing the pedantic nuance of someone like me suggesting that "selfish" is an ironic word to be using).
It's more that it goes some way to highlight the conflict between self-interest (and entirely reasonable self-interest at that) and the broader interest of everyone and every thing.
It's not a good look though.
