Since a genuine pedobear-hide rug is worth at least 20,000 favors, most Scouts in training opt for the rug.

[The shee of Albia]

We, the Shee are an ancient and clever species entirely lacking in common sense. This rather endearing trait has manifested itself in a preference for genetically engineering mice that dislike biscuits (but are rather keen on used teabags) rather than inventing a sensible mousetrap. This led to some ingenious (and generally massively over-engineered) solutions to simple problems.

A common joke goes - the fascists just claimed mussolini made trains run on time, but we actually do it
