Rather, I believe that the 51% means that you are willing to sacrifice yourself for the good of another. That extra 1% says that when you believe it's the right thing to do, you will serve another even at your own expense.
In your example, I do believe than in a fine moment of inspiration someone like Hitler could become harvestable even after a history of service to self. The components would be a realization that other people are just as important as the self and a willingness for self sacrifice. Then, an opportunity to carry out that willingness. This last deed of self sacrifice would demonstrate 51% service to others.
Anyway, that's my take on it. It's a qualitative thing, not a quantitative one.
Thanks!
Very astute!
