Boy, that is really stretching it to say there is a stewardly duty to "boost the price" and "skimp on the measure" when the market bears it.

Characterizing my argument as including "skimp on the measure" is also stretching it. Perhaps I missed it hidden in the penumbras of what I actually said, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't anything in my post to suggest "skimping on the measure". But if you are positing selling off one's entire inventory at substantially below market prices to be "good stewardship" I suppose that could come down to one's reasons for doing so. I doubt that the servant who doubled his master's five talents did so by using such strategies. In fact, he probably would have ended up with less than the servant who hid his one talent in the ground. (I'm sure you remember how that worked out for him).
