re: That's the point. Options are an off-the-books
way of compensating employees while keeping
earnings shining.

Thats generally wrong. Options are a great way to FORWARD reward employees for good performance IF they hang around for the options to vest. This is generally a 3 to 5 year time frame AND the employee HAS to be continually employed for that period of time. My experience is that now a days it's tough to have employees stay 5 years so options are a very very inexpensive form of virtual compensation.
