I do not think that logically follows. There are people who pay
$1.3 million a year to park a large jet close to their office. Should
it make me think that the service provider providing this service for a
profit is a good business model for my neighbor parking lot? Or that if
such service provider spriung up in my town, all of us who would like
to have a faster commute would just spring up and start payin $1.3 mil
a year to part our $4000mil jets?
