Toisenlainen esimerkki dilemman virheasettelusta on niin sanottu Mortonin haarukka, joka on saanut nimensä Englannin kuninkaan Henrik VII:n kanslerin John Mortonin mukaan: »Joko maamme aateliset elävät leveästi, mikä tarkoittaa, että heillä on varaa maksaa veroja, tai sitten he elävät vaatimattomasti, mikä tarkoittaa, että heillä on melkoiset säästöt, joita voidaan verottaa.»
He was supported in this effort by his chancellor, Archbishop John Morton, whose "Morton's Fork" was a catch-22 method of ensuring that nobles paid increased taxes: Those nobles who spent little must have saved much and, thus, they could afford the increased taxes; on the other hand, those nobles who spent much obviously had the means to pay the increased taxes.
