Geez, talk about taking a few words a little too literally and blowing it up.
I believe pg was arguing about the majority of newspapers and books that are struggling to survive with the advent of Internet.
He was looking at the empty majority of the glass. You are looking at the fraction that isn't empty(ie. parrot book that is selling). That doesn't change the fact that majority of mainstream newspapers and books are struggling to survive.
Also, you cite numbers and go all gaga over them without really telling us why the numbers are relevant or advance your argument. I don't care if Clickbank has done a billion in sales if, say, the overall industry has shrunk over time.
