In this exchange, are you being funny or stupid?

"It's increased market share that leads to growing profits. Really? This is a new one on me."

I'm reminded of a time in the late 80s, General Motors had twice the sales of Ford, but Ford had twice the profits. Which would you rather be?

Talk about disingenuously comparing apples and oranges. Sheesh.

There's about an 85% chance he's merely being dishonest. That's his normal batting average for veracity.

What do you mean? unPrincipled was making an ignorant claim that "It's increased market share that leads to growing profits." I provided an illustration that showed that that's not the case (it happened again last year - GM had more market share, Ford had more profits). Often the market share leader has no profits.
