I can't parse what you're saying. Are you saying the quote I replied to is correct?

In any case, I think always is close enough to fit. Yes, sometimes someone gets something very cheaply but that's usually because of ignorance or urgency from the selling party, deception, etc., etc. In a natural market interaction, if you're paying bottom dollar you are not and cannot be getting the best quality (unless you are in a scenario where the offering is flat: the best offering is also the worst).

No.

It is very unlikely to hire top talent at scale, but it is still possible to hire top talent occasionally even for below market rates.
