That paper states that most people would pay MORE to remove the last bullet than the first, but the right number should be the SAME in both cases.
I don’t think that there is any contradiction here. The scenario in Schick’s book is different from the one in the OP. Schick is considering the case where the decision to pay ends up costing you the same amount whether or not you end up getting shot.
It’s not clear to me that you were claiming otherwise, but I just wanted to emphasize that you weren’t contradicting Schick in the sense that at least one of you had to be making a mistake.
