I would have though that the CEO of the world's largest investment company would count more than "one single data point". I know there are a few examples of short term investors ruining a company - but have you any examples of companies punished for choosing long term over short term?

I said that CEO undercuts your point. You claimed short-term-ism was a "myth," then quoted a CEO saying that a lot of people focus on short term investing, rather than long term investing. Therefore making it not a myth, according to your own source.

Maybe you should actually read it. He said companies might be tempted by maximizing short-term returns because we are late in the economic cycle.

Therefore making it not a myth that people do so. Did you read it?
