Just because it's simple economics doesn't mean it's not valid - he's made it very clear what he means by "too high", it's a perfectly reasonable definition, and his argument makes sense given that definition.

You can often gage the value of an argument by how much effort is applied
to present a civil logical unemotional presentation of the situation. When
one side turns nasty, it is most often because they are unable to approach
the issue under discussion with calm rational arguments based on observable
factors.
You can't claim that an argument is based on a "simple" understanding of the
issue, implying that you speak from a much greater understanding of the
subject, then just use emotional arguments to support your position. Where
is the evidence that the basic principles of economics that Leebase is
presenting are overcome by some other, more sophisticated factors?
(I could just say that there are "Haters" out there, who are arguing in
opposition, without regard to any actual knowledge or information that would
enlighten the issue, but I think the term has been hijacked to apply in only
one direction.)
