Mark's point was that most corporations are not publicly held but private.

Most corporations are publicly held unless by public you meant government. Few corporations are privately held since most have publicly held stock.

First, I maintain that the bulk of corporate activity is not public held entities, but private.

Anyone is allowed to use these terms in any way they want. Doesn't mean though that they will be communicating.

that most corporate activity is under the umbrella of a privately held corporation.

Oh no, you too? The both of you really should take a course in finance.

I don't think that is ambiguous.

When you don't know, of course you don't.

To me it means that private corps outnumber public ones and a higher dollar figure moves through them. I don't know if that is correct but I believe that is what he meant.

When the blind lead the blind they are both likely to drag the sighted into the ditch (for fairness).

Private corporations are, of course, not subject to the same level of scrutiny that public ones are but if there are tax changes covering corporations they would share any benefits or drawbacks.
