Making money on its own is a waste of a life.
(fictional) Samantha's marketing job is to lie about what PSaudio's devices do but PSaudio's products actually makes audio worse.
Samantha might be thinking, well, she's getting paid, she eats food, she poops. But what are the COSTS to Samantha. Samantha is dying with every passing moment. PSaudio is Flushing Samantha's life down the toilet.
The lie is worthless, it has not improved society, it has not improved Audio. PSaudio is throwing (fictional) Samantha's life away. Maybe Paul is callous and doesn't care, he thinks Samantha's life is worthless and expendable, but her life is not worthless to HER.
This is why company leadership is important. If the company's entirety is predicated on Snake oil, then everyone's time is wasted, both PRODUCER and CONSUMER, both ends are getting fleeced by Paul. Paul is killing (fictional) Samantha, he's killing the engineers, he's killing every person at that company. PSaudio is the worst type of predator, a stupid one.
