I see. You mean to teach me that when the price of something drops, people buy less of it, is that right?
If you understand it, you'll understand why your arguments make no sense what ever.
The boss calls his #1 salesman, a very personable guy who works well with people but doesn't understand numbers, and says, "Bobby, I thought we agreed that since were were losing $50 per widget, we would suspend sales until after the the board approves a rate hike."
Bobby replies, "Yeah I knew we were in financial trouble. So I offered an additional 50% discount to boost sales even more."
The boss is literally purple. He's about to jump through the phone. "G**dammit Bobby! We were already losing $50 on every unit we sold AND YOU OFFERED A DISCOUNT!?"
Bobby leans back in his chair and says, "Boss, I got to hang up now. I have a guy on the other line who says he's going to buy a million of these things! A million! Can you believe that?"
