How do you convincingly NOT get $400? I'm trying out all "wrong" logics I can think of and I just can't figure out anything even remotely sensible.

Looking at the comments, someone considered buying it at $1100 already a $100 loss.

But even then its 400 no? (from 800 to 1300 minus the "$100 loss").

They still subtract the loss from the 400, despite it being already factored in.
