Sean, Karen and Finn, you all caught me off-guard with your lists. That was funny as heck....and if I had been eating something, I might have choked........
Damn guys, the plan failed...back to the drawing board.

I have explained it...numerous times, and in the same way each and every time...you can find it disrespectful all you want, but I'm simply calling a spade a spade.
I never said the word "anything", I said it wasn't relevant when trying to judge the condition of a company on the market like Apple vs. the numerous devices on the low end that it doesn't even compete with.
You ALMOST got it there, except you worded it in a way so that you intentionally didn't...clever, but a bit obvious.
Your bleeding heart tone of your comments is what I was referencing in terms of Jeremy Clarkson...assumptive, yes, but it follows in line with the kind of arguments presented by those who oppose him...the kind where major pieces of presented information are omitted to further an argument or agenda. Take that for what it's worth.

Ah that might be the problem! Explaining something the same way multiple times to someone who doesn't understand is not likely to help. You need to explain it in a different way.
Which point didn't I get? I can't be as clever as you seem to think! As far as I can see, we agree that overall unit market share is not a good measure of Apple's position in the market (not sure exactly what you mean by 'status' - financial? strategic?). We disagree only on one point. You think the overall unit market share is not relevant at all to Apple. I think it is relevant to some degree. It is a possible indicator to Apple's prospects for growth relative to the rest of the market, and to the threats that Apple may face in the coming years - e.g. pressure for price reductions, less attractive ecosystem relative to faster growing Androidn, etc. This is NOT an anti-Apple point - all companies face threats. The question is whether they happen, and how a company mitigates and deals with them. I'd be interested to hear your views on that.
Which comments on mine had a "bleeding heart tone"? Opposing Jeremy Clarkson would be like opposing Basil Fawlty or David Brent. He's one of the great satirical creations of our time.
