> I think you're assuming more of my answer than what I gave. That's fair given that this is the point of the article, but it's not mine. I'm very specifically only responding to "is there a per-user marginal cost on software?", and my answer is most definitely yes.

Fair, but I feel it's disingenuous to ignore the context the original comment was written in (the context of the article) and try to argue against a specific point in the post as if it was made without that original context. The sentence may have lacked inherent context, but it was supporting the key points the GP was making in response to the article. It wasn't designed to stand alone.

Given, I'm not the author of that post so entirely possible they were intending for it to stand alone, but I think it would still be better to see if that was intent rather than to assume so and antagonize what they were saying.
