Well, who said that sharks are always smart or good? My fellow sharks and I have had our moments of eating a*holes. They just make our stomachs upset for weeks afterward...
It's better to eat a plankton burrito and wait it out. All of our fish friends (who are periodically a*holes) have moments of clarity and a genuine ability to be sincere and kind. We just don't catch them being that way enough.
And sometimes when we do, we're hungry and attempt to eat them.
This does not make it easy to construct a list of fish friends to bring to future meetings. They've heard through the grapevine that the rumor is that some of them are eaten when they're not acting aggressive.
Besides, who wants fish today? I'm swimming along by myself pretty nicely right now...
