And just to be clear, when I say:
>true believers are quickly out-competed by those who're willing to take gambles.
I mean those within and without Tengu/equalist societies.
Megumu is an example of someone 'within'. As an example, in Unconnected Marketeers, she prefers trade to be as unregulated as possible to benefit the orderly Tengu society, partners with people outside the hierarchy(Tsukasa and Chimata both), and knows that Aya wouldn't sell her out because of Tengu laws.
