- scarface_74 3y agoIt’s not a straw man. It’s showing you that “what analysts predict” is completely irrelevant. And is Amazon raising prices? And how is 1/3 of the market enough to dictate prices?

- scarface_74 3y agoWhat “value” do you think it has? Do you think it would be probative in a court? Have you looked at the track record of the prediction? It’s “plain silly” to cite a prediction as evidence.
