If these "options police" want options expensed using black-scholes, simply vote in some board members that share your pov, its as simple as that!

And how would a few hundred shares owned by an investor stack up against the insiders with hundreds of thousands of shares? You don't honestly believe the average shareholder's vote has a snowball's chance of effecting any meaningful change do you?

Black-Scholes is bogus for expensing the true cost of options, that doesn't mean they shouldn't be expensed, it just means that Black-Scholes is not the solution, but it is much better than claiming there's no value!

The problem is that many companies just reprice those same options so that they do become in the money very shortly thereafter. how would one account for a decision to reprice options?
