Sorry to be gnomic. A failing.
The ubiquity.
As in: since virtue doesn't get rewarded, we'll have to make do with
the cheery claim that it is its own reward. So, you don't pass Go, you
don't collect a reward. What, the Tooth Fairy you were expecting?

Robert might also meditate on the ubiquity of the saw that virtue
is its own reward.
Could you parse that for me? I'm meditating, hmmm, ommm, but
they don't sell that in stores around here. The ubiquity or the
tautology? Virtue is the reward of virtue -- is that it? Who
bestows that reward? And how much is it? Where do I collect --
and what is it, a radial arm saw, or a circular saw? I could
really use one with a good sidewinder or worm drive on my farm.
Thanks for the tip.
