Only a true idiot would not have the attention to notice the disabled person in need of respite. The elephant in the room is that the attitude of disregard from the two people sitting in the other chairs will influence the test subject more than anything else. I think this falls back onto a question of social structure vs individual agency. I also think the compassionate action was the result of the test subject having gained experience in the conscious dimension of individual agency attributable to the meditation practice.
