That's not the argument I'm making. I'm not disagreeing with you.
The point I'm making, which I admit is an obvious one, is that without profits a dividend will erode a company's value. Simple flow of money. Unless there's a surplus flow of money in, you can't have an outward flow. Therefore, the effect of a dividend on a company's market cap depends on how much profit they have in comparison.
