They didn't say that though. They just proposed that the blanket statement is baseless. As the parent states, I could as arbitrarily state that CEO's are underpaid. They also provide further explanation on what might dictate CEO pay, factors that some people might not consider when making such blanket statements. You on the other hand provide nothing constructive to the discussion.

I do not doubt that there are CEOs that are overpaid, as do I not doubt that there are those that get paid fair. Chants and overly ideological short stories aren't going to fix the problem with the former.

If every time someone says something as inoffensive as "CEO's are overpaid", people (who don't much care about inequality) jump and lash out and demand precision, they're just making the job of organizing and discussing that much harder.

CEO's are ovepaid. It's a fact. People are increasingly comfortable just saying this. A socialist sympathizer just made a decent bid for the presidency of the USA.
