<<A stock split is just like taking one cookie and breaking it into two. Same cookie. Same sugar content. Why should it be worth more to a reasonable person?>>

Because you're not getting half shares like your half cookies.

You can use the same dough to make two whole cookies instead of one. Some people prefer to have more smaller cookies instead of half as many bigger ones.

Those who limit themselves to metrics and reason to assess the market are constantly frustrated, for a great part of it is emotional. Emotions and thinking define human behavior. Each affects the other, but they are separate motivating factors.
