"I'm not sure what this comment has to do with the question at the root of this thread." It was a response to a particular point raised in the previous comment, specifically, about the position that PE companies are taking in the marketplace. I rambled a bit after addressing the point, and I editorialized a bit. I won't deny that much. "You're obviously not a believer in PE." Not generally, no. But I'm a believer in a (relatively) free market, and as such, PE is one of those "I don't agree with a word you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it" topics. I think PE has its place, but as most common practiced, it's most often counterproductive in the long run. "the issue is, are PE-dominated markets ripe for disruption?" I believe I answered that question in the affirmative. Admittedly, in a discursive way. But yes. I think the presence of a lot of PE players in a market is a pretty good signal that the market can be disrupted.
