"it was meant to be a simplistic example."

then you probably should have used 1.3 billion starting point instead of a 3 bil starting point. I consider the difference significant ;^)

"actually, there's no telling what the "profit" will be in the interim with Zeros"

absoulutly true. I was giving a "simplistic example".

"just because something is intentionally simplistic does not mean "it's" dishonest."

of course. the degree of descrepancy + the intent to persuade should be considered. I guess 1.7 billion seemed like alot to consider yet I dont beleive you had a malicios intent. It just made it easier to for you to make your point, hence my origional comment.

"btw, i was being EXTREMELY charitable with a 10% payout ratio vs. revenues. more likely is 2.5%, in which case, google would need $300 billion in revenue 15 years from now."

Yup. we dont disagree on your conclusion. enuff said
