I've never made a single claim about any of these criteria on this forum. In fact, I'm a successful accountant and on occasion consult a locally owned bike shop. Making assertions about what I don't know regarding how a retail business survives or thrives is certainly foolish on your part.
I'm sure there are better forums if you want to discuss microeconomics.
