There's a logical flaw in that answer: I said 'this was not made only for simple html page', emphasize on the 'only', and your counter argument is 'there's at least one example of it being used for simpl

It depends on whether we're speaking of turnover or profit. An average profit of 200K$/h for a single production line must be very rare (but it may exist). You're almost always not really 'loosing' 200K$ (otoh you&#
