I don't see 17% either, but you switched to "return on capital"

That's because there's other owners who have a claim on the company - its bondholders. It's folly to use simple ROE to compare companies with different capital structures (i.e. different debt/equity ratios).

IMO, if you are going to be determined to use ROE of 16% despite the debt, no one's going to stop you. Certainly not the people that want to sell you their shares.
