Sure it's a big if, but we've all seen the headlines of authors turning down Big 5 publishing contracts in favor of self-publishing. I'm simply saying that just as there are authors for whom that's the right business decision, there are others for whom it's the wrong business decision, and production rate is one of the more important factors to consider when making that decision.
