True, but there are such things as culture and social norms. In the long run, LIEs who want to have it all their way run the risk of people turning their backs on them. Perhaps not a problem in the sphere of business, because there are always new people to exploit, but your personal life might get quite lonely in the end.
In any case, Socionics has thought me how to deal with LIEs in business and personal life ;-)
Dealing with them is simple. Just kill it with fire.
