' But if you want your enemy to starve, you pick them ALL.'

Well thats one strategy Diki and if it works for you good luck with that .

A less labour intensive and confrontational way is to let the fools struggle and fight and expend themselves over the slim sun shriveled pickings at the top of the tree, Whilst they compete with each other and shake the tree , gather what falls to the ground , watch the weaker fools fall away as they reach too high, stretch themselves too far, take greater risks than the reward merits ....then pick the fruit they loosened on their way up and on their way down

But i think your method of going after everything regardless of the merrit could work too ......ahhh who am i trying to kid :-)
