50:50 is a compromise. 100:100 is a collaboration. If we are splitting a cake 50:50 is a fair deal, it means we each get half a cake. On the other hand if you have, say, a flock of chickens. They are great, they give you eggs, they give you meat, the only problem is they also poop, a lot. Meanwhile I have a plot of really crappy land. doesn't even grow weeds. I need to fertilize it. So, I go to you and get the poop from your chickens. I take it away and use it as fertilizer. We both get what we want. You get rid of chicken poop, I get fertilized land. It's not 50/50 because neither of us gave anything up to meet the other's desires. Instead by meeting my desires I helped you meet yours.
