I would've been fine with your comment if you hadn't included that. I don't doubt these people are trying to act in their own self interests.
But when you say "as anyone would" it implies everyone is horribly selfish and never takes other people into account when making decisions ever and this is just accepted common knowledge, which it isn't.
Anyone and everyone are very different things.
Yes, the words are different, but the meaning was effectively the same. "People are inherently selfish and we all know this"
I wasn't saying selfish. More myopic, or ignorant.
