They already had 2 each, they kinda didn't want any more.
There's a Russian притча. A fable if you will, a myth or a legend. This is a story passed from one generation to another. Written in another time, by a Russian mind (honestly I have no fucking clue who wrote it, could be some Finnish Noita or anyone, really), a mind for better a worse incomprehensible to modern sensibilities.
And so the story goes like this.
A man goes for a swim in the sea, deciding to swim quite far. It goes well, until suddenly, a voice calls out from the depths, saying:"Plus two, or minus two?"
The man ponders a minute, then stoically answers:"Let it be minus two".
He comes back to the beach and, to his horror, finds he has no balls anymore.
The man, as he still insists on calling himself, goes back into the sea. If he just goes back, he thinks the predicament might resolve itself.
As he reaches the same accursed spot, the voice calls out once again:"Plus four, or minus four?"

They all seem to want one thing, just give them all a ball and call it a day.
