The core, at least to me, of his comment was:

"To many that equates to revenue generated, to others profitability"

He happened to add that he would read the article which is why I am guessing as of when I viewed the comment it was heavily downvoted.

The heavy handed downvoting is what I don't like about HN so quick to jump and assume there is no value in the comment. There was. Although I know the definition for sure there are "many" people who would read "most valuable" and not know the true definition. [1]

[1] My point being there is value in the observation of people who aren't clued in to that fact.
