[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9111090, member: 6801228"] Ah, so you are now going to claim that all Big Corporations are utterly perfect and without fault? Because that statement sounds oddly like my literal exact position, and you have spent the last few days attempting to prove to me that businesses can make mistakes. Why yes, you can compare apples and fish. But generally when two things have obvious differences, they don't make for good comparisons. Unless the contract had a termination provision, dependent on the product not doing well, implemented to prevent them from being forced to continually sell a failing product. Contracts are more complicated than A = 1 And yet, if I were to identify food poisoning in someone, I wouldn't say the person hit by a car is a good example. Differences MATTER. Many of these things you keep bringing up were detected and resolved in less than a year, yet you want to use them to help demonstrate a "mistake" that has lasted a decade. Those two time spans are VASTLY different. No, you did. I asked how you thought Blockbuster became a huge household name, you said "they were in the right place at the right time". I then asked if you thought all corps existed purely because of luck, and now you are trying to prove to me that corporations require skill to run. Which answers the question, finally. No, you don't believe corporations exist solely because of luck. There are factors of skilled management involved. Otherwise, to quote you This wouldn't make sense. [/QUOTE]
