> "great buy Mark"

Am I interpreting this correctly as sarcasm? If so, it seems to suggest that the product was overvalued, the acquisition a mistake, and the "success" more to do with luck or duplicity than "lateral thinking", "high performance individuals/teams", or similar ideas brought up by the OP.

WhatsApp is one of the best acquisitions (at least from the acquirer’s perspective) in the history of technology.

Yeah, it created massive dominance for the acquirer, regardless of how little money it made.
