Sorry, I didn’t mean for it to come over as an attack - but I don’t think it’s a straw man. What do you think doing that would say about Amazon’s value? Why does that matter in jus…

What I’m trying to point out (maybe I did a bad job!) is that it doesn’t make sense to try to run the numbers of how long it would take to return an investment in purchasing Amazon…

I really don’t enjoy when this form of argument comes up, because it strikes me as both lazy and extremely unlikely that the speaker puts the same conditions on his own conduct. I …
