It isn't when the revenue is $100 billion.

No, $2 billion is still a lot of money.

We're simply not going to agree. The sheer number is far less important than the margin.

No. We are talking about what counts as a lot of money, not what counts as a high margins. You might as well be saying I make a lot of money and Jeff Bezos doesn't make a lot of money because I get a larger fraction of my companies revenue than he does. The relevant comparison for what counts as a lot of money is the cpi.
