Luskin's central premise: Accounting rules permit only one way to report options expenses other than zero – and that’s their “fair value” at the time they are issued. On the other hand, present tax laws allow companies to deduct a much higher amount -- the actual value of options at the time they are exercised. Options are almost always worth more when they are exercised than when they are issued.

Duuh... isn't this merely an argument that the estimate of "fair value" is inaccurate (and low)?

<font=incredulous> Gosh... really?
