I'll even grant that maybe you don't realize it because your approach to business is so limited and binary in its scope of perspective (in so far as, yes, you actually only ever give two possible options in your examples of business operations), but you certainly are cherry-picking.No, you really haven't. It could be that's because of your singular, tunnel-vision perspective of how you think publishing businesss do/should operate, but the outcome is that you have not addressed all my points, regardless. You just pass them by and repeat your previous point, thinking that your perspective is self-evident because you can name a few companies most of the industry isn't even aware of as examples of how you think things should be industry-wide. To you, the word "outlier" doesn't seem to be a thing that actually exists.If only running a business could actually be couched in such binary thinking. Reality doesn't work like that, however. The fact that you believe it does, though, is the crux of why you believe you've addressed all my points rather than just bypassing them with your refrain. And the fact that you think any business that doesn't run as you expect is "ethically and creatively bankrupt" says far more against your agument than it does in support of it.</blockquote>
