I disagree with your interpretation of ceronman's experiment and the premise that we're already conducting it. I believe they were making the case that Employees need the company as much as the company needs the employees. The experiment is to split the profits evenly amongst those who created the value in the first place - The people that work inside the company. If they can't produce the value, get rid of them (And if that's the case there's more profit for everyone right?) They could also mean that the profits are distributed amongst the employees based on individual contribution when they conclude that there wouldn't be any self-made billionaires because no single individual produces that much value. I still disagree with the conflation of wages/cost of business and profits, even though more mages means less profit - Profit is still surplus after all has been paid. The distinction is important for more than just the scope of this conversation.
