I guess I just disagree. To me, what you are "paid in" is the thing that changes ownership from your employer to you on pay day. It seems like you are simply insisting that "paid in" is synonymous with "priced in," in which case this debate is just a matter of semantics and not actually very interesting.

Also, to begin with, this conversation was about what I am paid in, not what my employer pays out. In your last sentence it sounds like you are confusing them, or using them interchangeably. I see no reason that they should be considered the same thing.
