It's not so bad. Lamp's intro here, limited by space, doesn't reveal that the author has a generally healthy perspective on the notions he presents. He's just bringing into the limelight that generosity, when done strategically, can be good business often resulting in higher yields than the "I got mine, you get yours" approach. He speculates about gender relationships (especially familial, he has a wife and two daughters) influencing the acceptability of that strategy. Other influences are beyond the scope of this focused piece.

If you want to get inside the author's head, there's more insight into him here.
