A Certain Perverse Path

Recently, in an effort to gain trembling amber (I am told there is a good method in some of the new content, but I have not yet explored it) and also examine that option, I slaughtered some ten rubbery men in a dark alley to acquire the necessary warm amber, and then traded it to the 11th I encountered.
The thing I was thinking of was, AFAIK, to lure rubbery men into the dark alley and end their existence is the only "fast" way to accumulate warm amber, and the 11th such rubbery man you meat is also the one to whom you trade 100 warm amber for 1 trembling amber. Given that you get a (small) hit to Connected: Rubbery Men, from doing such a thing, implying they have at least a suspicion, it seems to me to be mildly odd that rubbery men still beckon towards you in the streets! And, more generally, doesn't it seem to be a bit perverse to anyone else that to open this option where you trade with rubbery men, you have to slaughter rubbery men yourself and take goods they already possess?

Well, to be fair, a patient individual could always wait for the opportunity where a Rubbery Man GIVES you some Warm Amber. That option also knocks down Connected: Rubbery Men a bit, and only provides a small (3-4?) amount of Warm Amber, but if murdering Fluke children in darkened alleys has left you feeling morally ambiguous, it is another method...
