Your overall point is true - but I'm unsure whether you are clarifying or trying to ackshualise.

And well actually, "price/demand elasticity curve" appears to be ambiguous word-salad (although a human mistake;)

I do appreciate your response: it makes me think about what I should have written. You are correct that my comment was rather unclear. Most of us misunderstand how businesses maximize profits. I find economics hard.

Yes, I just wanted to clarify that "businesses maximize profit", they don't necessarily maximize the unit price.

Thanks for squinting and finding sense in how I said it. It's been 12 years since I took an econ course.
