No one is interested in your personal assessment of what’s trivial or not. I’m saying that the millions of dollars in expenses are irrelevant if you can recoup those costs plus some profit by selling snake oil.

If you think that cost cannot be recouped by selling snake oil for some reason, then explain why.
