The problem with this question is that it takes this form: "*Clearly all floops all blarps. We know this because of foo fooo foooo. Why are all floops blarps?*" What exactly are you asking here? If your claim that you provide without a reference is true? If your "proof" is correct? If we can divide by zero?

@Giskard What I was saying was how is revenue even obtained when the output is zero are we taking limits?
