It's all just figures on a spreadsheet to him.

  Figures on a spreadsheet... set to round all numbers to 10% boundaries? I don't trust that any real analysis has gone into this. To do any real analysis you'd need an org chart, head counts, and a P/L with much more granularity than Google publishes. He has none of these. The people with all of those chose 6%, and even that seems to have been largely due to pressure. This guy is only pressuring, there's no data behind this, no reasoning, nothing smart or worth listening to.

    Right, I mean a very simple spreadsheet that doesn't actually capture how the company works. Like, a toy spreadsheet. "20% looks nice—let's go with that".
