Your statement is true on average because the world’s economy is continuing to function.

  Oh wow, I don't even know where to begin with that. Like, the world economy can't continue to function even if acquisitions were only 80% value creation on average? Or does the entire world economy depend on companies acquiring other companies with 100% value creation on average, such that it continuing to function logically implies 100% average value creation?

    > can't continue to function even if acquisitions were only 80% value creation on average The number is much much lower than that. Most acquisitions fail or don't have much impact.

  > Your statement is true on average because the world’s economy is continuing to function. The entire field of economics depends on post ipso facto statements like this.
