Still hung up on invalid comparisons

Cars are mechanical devices. Some have software controlling certain systems. Some do not.

Cars driven on the highway that come from the local dealerships are manufactured on an assembly line. Each requires a certain amount of materials. Building them requires substantial labor. You cannot build one car and then let a computer create duplicates of it for $0.05 each. Each one is built from a blueprint. Each must be built a certain way with no deviation from the blueprints. If you inspect an automobile you can see every part on it. There are no ambiguous pieces there. There are no intangible ideas there.

There is no way to make a valid comparison of automobiles and software.

Software is not remotely close to cars. Why do you insist on making comparisons that are useless?

Are you incapable of thinking of a valid comparison?

The only other thing that comes to mind is you are implying that, since there is a limited number of participants in the Indy 500 that is would be considered a 'small busines' on the same footing as a Saturday night race at the local 1/4 mile dirt track. There is still just one winner. There are about the same number of participants. Are you suggesting the Indy 500 is no more than a Saturday night dirt track race run in the daylight on Sunday? Well, they are not in the same league. That dog won't bark either.
