The acoup guy, Bret Devereux, says this a few times in his writing:
The peasants were poor, not stupid. That's what drove them to follow their own interests, not the lords'. For context it made sense for the lord to have peasants work more than they wanted. But the peasants often preferred not to for a number of econmic reasons, among them not being able to capture the gain, and risk minimization.
