6. You have numbers on that

Like actual proof? Or just an accusation?

And by proof I don't mean you can point to a website with the same accusation.

[Done]

7. No, I have not seen their actual income statement, but

I know they do spend a lot of money on ads talking about the "good works" that they do, and even though they only recently started using the phrase "good works", the message that they do "good works" has been part of their marketing strategy for years.

9. Ah. But that's not what you said, is it?

what you said was they spend more money on promoting their good works than they do on their good weeks. Or to put it mathmatically, if X = the amount of mney they spend on their good works and Y = the amount of money they spend promoting their good works Y > X.

But you don't have any proof of that assertion?
