If you become suspicious when the student rises unhurt, or if you happen to notice the cameraman, you may resent having been tricked.

I'm certain that some freshmen will, for the first time in their lives, ignore Yom Kippur, join their non-Jewish classmates at registration, and resent being put to the test.
