Right, because that's a one-bit truth value, not a scalar. The slope doesn't matter, it just has to be positive. Everything is so simple!

There's no such thing as high margins, or success in degrees.

Is there something adding friction to the process of making software/food/cars? Well, is it adding enough friction to make our profits go negative? No? Then literally no one cares.

The one bit value of growing vs not is the primary determinant of success (in this industry), yes. I’m not making a lifestyle biz.
With your philosophy that literally reduces engineering to “does it make any profit at all true or false”, I would hope that you would confine yourself to the lifestyle industry.
