All of these points about expensing options might, might, be valid if there was universal consensus that these are real expenses. There is a universal consensus among accountants. The AICPA has wanted to expense options for almost a decade now. And given that this only concerns GAAP, accountants really are the only people that matter. The big investors, big players who understand the business agree with Chambers on options it is just the little guys and people outside the business making all this noise. There are plenty of big investors who disagree with Chambers. If you know anyone over at Kleiner Perkins, ask that person how many people there think options should be expensed. You'll be surprised at the answer.
