- Andy is perfectly willing to consider that, given relevant evidence.
- Andy assumes that O'Andy is giving the best arguments he can, and
- "some people make a lot more than others" simply doesn't show that
- supply-demand doesn't work.

-
- O'Andy is babbling. Of course I'm going to complain when third
- parties get involved. I do appreciate the way he "interprets"
- participants as "business", but it's his strawman, so he gets the
- credit.
