It's probably not ridiculous, but the idea is overemphasized and taken as gospel in America -- and, I think, has been responsible for a lot of bad, short term decisions over time. Tim Cook seems to agree with him: “When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind, I don’t consider the bloody ROI. [Apple works on] a lot of things for reasons besides profit motive. We want to leave the world better than we found it [...] If you want me to do things only for ROI reasons, you should get out of this stock.” Of course it's easier to say this when you're Tim Cook or Larry Page.
