It's nice to see someone approaching this question with actual data, and not gawking at a handful of acquisitions that are arbitrarily deemed "excessive".

His approach, though undebatably imperfect, is much more valuable than the typical "Complain because company x got acquired for too much damn money" approach you see most everywhere else.
