Okay, hear me out…

If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, why bother getting a bird in the hand? Two in the bush are worth the same amount, and they’re just sitting there. Also, since you aren’t going to the trouble of obtaining these birds, cost of labour goes down. So even though both products are \*\*worth the same\*\* you can charge \*\*less\*\* for two in the bush, absolutely devastating the “bird in the hand” market.
