The case is an individual suing his insurance company for the total loss of his house due to fire. The insurance company says he torched it himself due to his economic situation as it was in 2009. Obviously, he maintains otherwise. The question posed by the insurance company representation was: "does there exist an economic situation that would cause one to behave in a manner that, minus that situation, they would not otherwise behave". I posited that in the age old question of whether it was acceptable to steal a loaf of bread to feed one's family if no other alternatives existed the answer is... yes.
