Some men will pee on the seat — whether intentionally or not I have never figured out — if it's left down. Leaving it up maximizes cleanliness.

If you stick with the assumption that both Marsha and John aim to minimise the marital discord M, then John won't spill on the seat. So I guess the theory only addresses the subset of non-disfunctional marriages ;)

Marsha and John's guests and visitors, however, are a different matter.
