I think the "comfortable", "dismissive" and "out of hand" remarks are
unfair. I have questioned the viability of these models in some depth
and included (unchallenged) figures, sourced from within the alpaca
industry itself, in support.

With regards to "illumination", we are rather going round in circles –
it was my initial thoughts on a possible structure for the industry
(posted November 14th), and your response to those views, that
started this discussion.
