You're simultaneously misrepresenting jeb's statement and the efficient market hypothesis[1]. It's more like saying "markets aren't always right, but they're useful, otherwise they wouldn't exist". The efficient market hypothesis says "the

I'm guessing this is more of a flat fee structure, and he's optimistically expecting it to work out to $1k/hour. You can write to my former coworkers in Apple’s Developer Technical Support, and they will point you toward a solu
