Well yeah Rachel represents (also as SIU said in his blogposts) the "normal" people, who have wishes, but when given the "chances"/ the alternative between the "next step" towards their goal, and "death", she can't go for her wish. However she sees Bam as somebody who took the step while not having the same wish -> stealing because he's "unworthy" and she should have succeeded. And asking "why", when the test was precisely to take the step.

Now is Rachel right in "her vision" ? No, because in Bam's "perspective", his dream/wish isn't as far, his goal was Rachel, and she's supposed to be "few steps" in front of him, when Rachelle wants to "conquer the whole tower", something nobody did. So there's already the difference in "proximity", in the very "nature" of what they wish, and also their reaction to it. It sure would have been more "dramatic" in this aspect if what Bam wanted was "to the scale" and went anyway, because the closer the target, the easier it is to be motivated. However, he's always setting to "stop climbing" at the time he finds Rachel, so maybe that's in "The tower"'s interest to keep him chasing (imo).
