"that route" being the one where we characterize each others arguments, rather than engaging with them.

I characterized your comment as being of that sort that expresses indignation at an argument but fails to say why it is wrong. "Dude, seriously?" is a good opening statement, but not an argument.

You characterize my arguments as all boiling down to "make profit = good." Since my thesis is that the profit motive provides better outcomes than alternatives, I am pleased to see you note that my arguments support my thesis. I am interested in learning why you do not find them persuasive.
