Well, that's the thing, it doesn't HAVE to be all or nothing - they just seem to think it does. *shrug*
I think RoboSam thought that if he just kept an eye on Dean, then Dean wouldn't feed - I do think that he panicked a bit when Dean escaped out the bathroom window. I'm sure he thought that all he had to do was watch Dean until Samuel got there, and then Samuel would explain that Dean couldn't feed and therefore Dean wouldn't - because he would be motivated by the cure. It's either that or Sam didn't actually care one way or the other if Dean lived or died, but to me that makes even less sense than having a bit of faith in Dean (and Sam's own ability to keep him confined to the motel).
