Also notice that if I implement (1) but you insist you want (2) I can just say that's what I'm offering.
You can't prove me wrong because the only difference in (2) is that it's possible to get a different answer, but never required, so, I can tell you that you just got unlucky and that's why it seems as though I implement (1).
So the rational thing to do is implement (1) which is at least explainable.
