A basic view of it is: a man keeps his promises.
What do you think of people who don't keep their promises to you? Do you congratulate them on their successful use of game theory?
If you saw a wallet with cash in it and an ID card lying on a park bench with no one else around, what do you do? Would you behave differently if it was $5, $100, $10000? Are you a man or an animal?
A few months back, there was an article in the newspaper about someone who found a very large sum of cash, in the 5 figures. He figured out who owned the money, and gave it to the owner. Then he became infuriated because the owner didn't give him a "reward" for being honest.

That's not how honor works.
