I don't understand the down votes and all these answers.

If I'm paying strictly for pieces produced (e.g. apples picked, widgets assembled) why would I balk at paying you for all of them if you're capable of 8X the average. I'm not losing anything.

Hell, I should be studying you to see how you're so efficient and apply that to my production (assuming you're not Superman hiding out).

Of course, that's not the same as cranking up the line speed at a dangerous job to crank out more widgets at the cost of more injuries.

Exactly - you pay more over a shorter period, or, in the case of a continuous widget assembly line, you pay fewer people more.

You SHOULD be but the reality of capital is that it is rarely willing to pay that much if it can help it.
