Apple's cut is a hell of a lot more than 2.9% + $0.30.
Never said it wasn't? Just pointing out how silly this stance is.
Balking at the difference between 30% and 3% is just as silly to you as balking at the difference between 3% and 0%?
Yes, because the balk is at the concept not the amount.
Busting somebody's balls because they're not abstracting away something as significant as 27% seems unreasonable. It shouldn't surprise you that somebody who dislikes giving 30% to apple would be proportionally less concerned about giving 3% to Visa.
It's hardly unreasonable; if their problem is, as they've said, "giving money to Apple", then it's not the amount, but the fact that Apple gets a cut at all.

And none of this is surprising, merely inconsistently applied logic. I fully understand what is happening here, clarifying statements will not help.
