This is sort of true, but it's missing such an important thing that it might as well be false.
The missed thing is that most people don't really give a shit about destroying monsters, whatever they may say about the matter. When people dunk on the cowardly and hated enemy, they're not striking a blow for justice, they're getting a crack rush off the moral superiority that envelopes them like god's love.
That joy, combined with the points they earn from their own tribe, overwhelms by two orders of magnitude any instinct toward truth-seeking.
They will never find themselves in that hell because the ones who could send them there can't bear the separate hell of doing without them.
