The fact that a behavior is "best" for your network does in no way, shape, or form, say anything about what's best for the Internet as a whole. In fact, it's well-understood that there are entire classes of behaviors that are optimal for single actors, but fail when deployed widely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons
