huey, employees pay income tax on that same amount at exercise on NSOs (ISOs are taxed later, but NSOs are most common). If it's taxable to the employee, it's deductible for the employer. Would you have it otherwise?

BTW, tax treatment has never been part of this debate. But you might be interested in knowing that there are plenty of differences between what is income and expense for tax purposes vs. GAAP. Those differences just aren't particularly relevant when you are considering how GAAP should require companies to account for things to meet an objective of transparency.
