      Meerkats play fight to learn hunting and fighting behaviors. If anything, this was a good training situation. They got to practice all the right behaviors with none of the risk. Some may be more confident in the future, but that’s easily balanced out by the increase in experience (especially the younger ones getting drilled on mob behaviors).

A dishwasher seller is not the best example as these jobs are also usefull, but compare it to something like a High-Frequency stock trader.
