I'm convinced now that this is just a demonstration on how egoistic human beings are, even if they're presented with an option that's best for everyone.

Otherwise there's no way that guy he took the white stone from couldn't sue the university and that professor.
You can argue everyone else who put down the black stone chose so for himself to fail, but that first guy didn't.

If it's not, then Allison better uses her superpower ("university wants to make her happy") to get him fired, it will be better for all future generations at that school.
