The problem in arguing about design is that many things may be subjective (I do not believe all of it is subjective) whereas profit at least gives an unarguable metric.

That's kind of naive no? Everybody in this town buys Comcast, but that's not because it's a great product.

the original meaning of naive is natural, I suppose that monopolies are unnatural and as such fall outside the normal argumentation about business quality.

Furthermore I also thought I put in enough qualifiers in my statement that I did not have to defend it as being my overarching philosophy regarding every situation it might possibly be applied to. After I wrote the preceding sentence I proceeded to write another 3 paragraphs until I realized that I was actually writing a bad version of an essay on aesthetics and requirements for being able to speak with critical insight, so I erased those paragraphs and here we are.

It makes perfect sense! That's why Transformers is a better movie than the Godfather...
