Dave, having recently completed the part of PhD microeconomics that deals with risk aversion, I'd argue that it's anchoring (tendency to prefer your first piece of information, and keeping the pitcher is always the default) than risk aversion, which would require quantifying why there is greater variance in payoffs under the situation where you pull the pitcher.

Dave Cameron

10:07

But keeping the pitcher in is the default because of risk aversion, I think.
